Sol Driven Train is a 6-headed musical monster emerging from the swampy South Carolina lowcountry. Generally seen at night in clubs and bars around the Carolinas, it can be identified by its distinctive call: a blend of fiery world beat, southern funk, and melodious rock. Listeners Beware!!!! Several researchers attempting to study the Train have succumb to its hypnotic call and found themselves twitching and gesticulating uncontrollably on the dance floor. Reports of punchy horns, three-part vocal harmonies, and a slamming rhythm section are common. Though phylogeny is still unclear at this time, some have suggested evolutionary descent from groups such as The Allman Brothers, The Band, Carlos Santana, Stevie Wonder, and Bob Marley and the Wailers.

Sol Driven Train was first sighted in 2000 on Folly Beach, SC, though its members share a musical history dating back to childhood and middle school band. The lineup consists of Russell Clarke on sax and vocals; Ward Buckheister on trombone, guitar, and vocals; Joel Timmons on guitar and vocals, Davis Buckheister on bass and tuba, Phill Eason on drums, keys, and vocals; and Philip Antman on percussion. All of the band members contribute to the songwriting, with Russell, Ward, and Joel sharing the majority of the lead vocals. The constantly shifting lead role along with the band's dynamism make live shows an exciting, eclectic experience. The band tailors its sound for a variety of settings: rock shows, acoustic cafes, street jams, and childrens summer camps. The joy of childhood friends writing and performing music together is apparent and quite contagious when Sol Driven Train takes the stage.

Some of the band's extensive original repertoire is featured on two studio recordings. The self-titled debut album was released in 2001, followed by Churning Burlward in 2003. The band is currently working on a live album recorded at the Oceansong Cafe, Isle of Palms, SC, and a children's album recorded at Camp Gwynn Valley in Brevard, NC. Sol Driven Train has performed at a variety of venues including Charleston's AliveAfter5 Concert Series, First Night Charleston, Piccolo Spoleto, The Windjammer (IOP), Cumberland's (Charleston), the Joint (Clemson), as well as numerous bars, clubs, charity events, and parties in North and South Carolina. The band has developed a devoted following in Charleston, Clemson, and Brevard, and is in the process of transitioning from weekend warriors to full-time touring and recording artists. Part of this transition has been a 10-week residency at Camp Gwynn Valley in Brevard, NC. Following camp the band plans to relocate to Western North Carolina and continue to cultivate its fan base in the south east.
