2004 A Recipe is Refined

In March 2004 Evan Brewer left the band due to musical and schedule conflicts. He was replaced by DrewBud, an accomplished jazz bassist from Boston, MA. Paul Allen left the band as well, in May 2004 for the same musical reasons. Paul was replaced by drummer, vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter, (Brother) John Salaway. With a debut album under the belt and a new line up, VINYL SOUP can be seen live at various cities and college towns throughout the southeast.

After 6 months of touring with VINYL SOUP, John Salaway decided to pursue the music biz from a publishing and songwriting avenue. This forced Salaway to leave the band in December 2004. Salaway was then replaced by new and current drummer/vocalist, John Soward. John Soward is a native of New Jersey and moved to Nashville in the fall of 2004. Soward's unique blend of Jazz, Reggae and Rock has finally brought to VINYL SOUP what the band has needed for the last several years.
