Sol Driven Train’s musical psyche has been self-diagnosed with “sonic schizophrenia.” Citing influences from Paul Simon and John Prine, to New Orleans jazz, Caribbean island-rock and Afro-beat, the group has amassed a loyal fan base through its musical diversity. The band members first jammed together in their middle school music room, and formed a strong bond through their love and respect for music, while always remembering to have fun. In the self-produced music video for “Watermelon,” SDT threw a fruit-fuelled fiesta complete with a slip-n-slide, dozens of friends, fans and family members, and a requisite truckload of watermelons.
Tuesday 4/14. $8-10, 8:30pm. The Southern Cafe & Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.
