Biography

Chicago, United States

Souled American is a pioneering alternative country band from Chicago that was active mostly in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. The band has its origins in Normal, a college town in central Illinois and revolves around vocalists Chris Grigoroff (also guitar) and Joe Adducci (also bass) who previously played in a band called The Uptown Rulers. Souled American recorded four albums for Rough Trade Records, which initially stirred a modicum of critical and popular attention both in North America and Europe. In 1991 drummer Jamey Barnard left the band, releasing their fourth album (and last for Rough Trade), Sonny. After four albums, a tour with Camper Van Beethoven, and a wealth of critical acclaim (though very little commercial success, one Rough Trade employee later claimed, “The band sold less and less records with each consecutive release”) Rough Trade folded and Souled American seemingly disappeared. The band re-emered in 1994 with Frozen and 1997’s Notes Campfire, both released on the obscure German label Moll Tonträger. Sometime after 1996 guitarist Scott Tuma also left the band leaving the duo of Adducci and Grigoroff still intact. The remaining two members have since made sporadic appearances in their hometown and brief tours including shows in New York City and Ohio but new studio material has been sparse. A re-release of their first four albums on Tumult Records in 1999 brought some belated attention.
