Soul Vaccination remains at the top of the Portland charts and is one of the tightest Funk & Soul Bands in the PNW. As the Rose City’s favorite, Soul Vax infuses the stage with the greatest soul standards and has been a fixture on the Northwest music scene for over 20 years.

This high-energy 12-piece band features Brian Harris on Hammond B-3 and keyboards, along with the precision guitar playing of Mike Doolin and Mark Wyatt. On bass is Grammy-nominated producer John Linn, and on drums is Ron Tuttle, always bringin’ the funk and groovin’ hard. Portland’s own Regina K, Porsch Anthony, and Mark Wyatt share their soulful vocal styles. Lewis Livermore and Dave Mills carry the backbone sound of the Soul Vax horns on trumpets, with Ron Regan, Gary Harris, and Timothy Bryson on saxophones.

Joining the group for their first collaboration at the festival is Northwest blues legend, Lloyd Jones.
