TESTIMONIALS
"Soul-R Fusion is in my opinion a very aptly named band. They fuse Folk, Blues, Americana, and much more to create a unique sound of their own. Killer bass lines and guitar licks meld together under soulfully written lyrics. I’ve enjoyed working with them in the studio on several projects, not only because I like their music, but also because we get along so well. Often we find ourselves before or after session sitting and having great conversations about the music industry, the state of the world, lighthearted politics, cats, or social cultures. They’re just a good hang and that’s very important for a band. They’re also very easy to work with. All of this translates well to their live shows. They’re entertaining, thought provoking, and heartfelt. All around a good time!”

“Soul-R Fusion’s sound is propelled by Koehler’s rhythm guitar, occasional harmonica and husky vocals, with Goodell’s fretless bass interplay throwing down licks and accenting passages."
- John Staton, Star News
“…mostly acoustic, the music’s personality shares an amalgam of subtle flavors bubbling just under the surface – rock, bluegrass, soul, and funk. The material is reflective and observational, led by Tim Koehler’s invitingly rustic timbre, a voice that seems to measure years with a cheerful outlook on things.”
- Brian Tucker, Star News
"Soul-R Fusion is a duo of thought provoking songwriting, tasteful guitar work, and incredible depth and finesse added by the fretless bass. Their eclectic mix of multiple genres in their original tunes makes them super relatable to all audiences. And, Alex and Tim are just great people! It’s always a pleasure hosting them on the Ted’s stage." ​​
