Welcome to the world of SunQueen & The Soular Flares, where music meets magic and every performance is a celebration. This seven-piece band, hailing from Greensboro, NC, is a soul-rock sensation that's been setting the music scene on fire since 2017.
At the helm is the radiant SunQueen herself, Kelcey Ledbetter. Not only is she the vocalist, but she's also the manager and the heart of the band. Her musical journey began with Dalton Village, where she met guitarist Kolin Robinson. When that band disbanded, Kelcey and Kolin formed a new constellation, SunQueen & The Soular Flares, and gathered more stars along the way: guitarist Malcom Dickens, bassist Darion Jones, keyboardist and trombonist Tyrissa Swilley, drummer Tommy Richardson and drummer Jamese Moses.
Their music is a genre-bending collage of hip-hop, soul, rock, and contemporary R&B. But it's not just about the sound; it's about the message. Their songs are a celebration of body positivity and radical self-love, encouraging listeners to embrace themselves fully. Kelcey's powerful lyrics, backed by the band's dynamic sound, create a shared experience that's as empowering as it is entertaining.
So, if you're looking for a band that's as fun as they are talented, as charming as they are original, you've found them. SunQueen & The Soular Flares aren't just making music, they're making a movement. And you're invited to join the party.
