Soulcolour is a Portsmouth, NH-based duo that carries on the time-honored tradition of writing and performing original pop and acoustic music. Nieshira's powerful, multi-genre vocals combined with Will's smooth music stylings create original compositions infused with a distinct, soulful vibe. The Soulcolour sound. Soulcolour started in fall 2021 and has since played over 100 shows at various venues up and down the New Hampshire and Southern Maine Seacoast including the Press Room, Vinegar Hill, The Word Barn, the Kittery Dance Hall, Blue Portland and the Brook Casino.
Nieshira and Will met more than 8 years ago when Will would frequent a local restaurant where Nieshira managed the front of the house. They would talk about music and discussed putting something together, but never really followed up on it. They lost touch for years during the COVID pandemic until the spring of 2021 when a then undiscovered mutual friend was looking for a vocalist and guitarist to perform some songs for an event and "introduced" Nieshira and Will to each other. Soulcolour was born that day with the purpose of bringing their music to the universe. Some things are just meant to be...
Nieshira and Will also have an extensive catalog of cover songs spanning rock, r&b, country and soul that they perform at smaller venues and private events all over the Seacoast.
Congregation X (to be billed as Congregation X) is a NH seacoast based contemporary band that focuses on original music. Influenced by a wide range of styles, their sound can be described as a Rock/Soul fusion with an R&B spice.
The roots can be traced back to a chance meeting and conversation at an open mic between guitarist, Nevin Brown, and Alexandria Brocato after hearing her sing one night. In the beginning, the idea was simply about collaborating on songs to play at future open mics. It gradually morphed into exploring the idea of writing together and performing original songs instead.
Following their participation in the 2023 RPM challenge, the band expanded to five, gaining the advantages of additional influences and experiences.
