In the Spring of 2004, SOUSE was formed out of the ashes of the late progressive fusion band Final Exit. Twice nominated for “Best Jam Band” at the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards, SOUSE is a merger of key members of many notable regional funk-fusion and jam acts. Blending infectious melodies with layered rhythms and open improvisational passages, SOUSE continues to forge a unique sound and take their format in new directions. Drawing on keen musicianship and innate compositional skills, SOUSE has compiled an extensive library of original compositions while taking time to pay homage to their jazz and fusion influences.
SOUSE is best experienced live and is currently busy promoting the release of their first full length CD, PUSH, at clubs and festivals throughout the Midwest.

Funky but not SMOOTH... Are you tired of the same ole-same ole...? Check a cat out on www.myspace.com/ronholmesjr Take it ease! Ron grooveeccentric@yahoo.com
technically, RSVP means "respondez sil vous plait" -- French for "tell us if you're coming, American assholes." LOL! So, this is my respondez --we'll be there with bells on. Or hopefully, in Gary's case, clothes.
