Our History

Will Keehner, Anna Keehner, and John Carpenter met at Pineapple Joe’s in Ft. Pierce, FL late in 2014. Attracted to one another by a shared obsession with jam bands, the three came together and added Brandon Putzke on drum set shortly thereafter, playing their first gig in November 2014. In late March 2017, the band added Patrick Williams who now plays drums, with Brandon now playing percussion. Souljam also recently added keyboard player Brandon Davis in November of 2021.

Souljam plays regularly at premier venues/festivals in Vero Beach and around Florida including: Walking Tree Brewery, Guanabanas, Dunedin Brewery, Farm To Grass Music Festival, and many more.

We’ve developed our style quickly. Always dedicated to performing and growing as a unit and seeking to deliver the best performance possible for each and every gig.

Once we developed a solid repertoire of cover songs we all liked, we began adding originals written by Anna and John. After finding our writing style, we slowly started writing as a band which lead to us finding our true voice as a unit.
