Indie Soul
With a deep-rooted passion for blues, soul, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll, J-Rad Cooley crafts songs that evoke the raw energy and timeless spirit of 1920s to 70s American music. His soulful voice, coupled with a masterful command of the harmonica and piano, transports listeners to a bygone era of ragtime, rockabilly and no regrets. Critics and fans alike have drawn comparisons to iconicfigures such as Dr. John and Leon Russell, acknowledging the Salt Lake City artist’s uncanny ability to channel the essence of aural pioneers into his own living, breathing contemporary art.
