 | Rob
Loar (vocals, guitar, trumpet) From the rich baritone of Johnny
Cash to the lilting falsetto of James' "Laid", Rob has it covered. His smooth
vocal syle on country ballads and those quirky 80's new wave tunes make him truly
the Man of 1000 Voices. And though he can be pretty self-deprecating when it comes
to his guitar chops, his trumpet playing adds that extra bit of sizzle (or should
we say fizzle?) that a band with a name like Soda could certainly put to good
use. | Erik Swanson (vocals, bass guitar)
A self-confessed (and now recovering) former bass guitar "shredder", Erik
won several local bass contests early in his career. Those early pyrotechnics
have since evolved into a style that is passionate yet still very precise. His
playing has graced the stage with many favorite local artists, including Cathy
Richardson and Scottish McMillian. Erik also displays his evocative vocal talents
with Soda on covers by Tom Petty, Dave Matthews and John Mayer. |  |  | Jeff
Decker (drums, percussion, vocals) A drummer's drummer,
Jeff brings his considerable chops and experience to the band. As a teacher at
the area's premier drum shop "The Drum Pad", he stresses a substance over style
approach that truly anchors the Soda rhythm section. And his fundamental sense
of good taste has made him a "first call" session drummer for many of Chicago's
finest jazz ensembles. | Pat O'Donnell (vocals,
guitar) When audiences first hear Pat sing "Come Sail Away" and other
Styx favorites, their jaws will very often drop as they wonder if it's live or
Memorex. But much more than a Dennis DeYoung clone, Pat and his rich tenor excel
on tunes by Bon Jovi, The Outfield, Fall Out Boy, and many others. And he's no
slouch on the guitar. His muscular style evokes the passion and attitude found
in the great rock solos of any (and every!) generation. |  |  |
Jenna Swanson (vocals, guitar) When you choose Soda
for your private event, you get the extra added bonus of the beautiful and talented
Jenna Swanson. Jenna is a charismatic vocalist whose high energy performance allows
Soda to truly be a human jukebox and cover any song you want. She excels at tunes
from such artists as Gwen Stefani, Carrie Underwood, Sheryl Crow and Stevie Nicks.
Jenna also performs at select club dates with Soda. Please check our calendar
for these special shows. |
 "Soda
played at my wife's surprise birthday party and they were a huge hit. Everyone
danced the entire night and I had to ask them to play for an extended period because
my guests were having such a great time. If you have never heard them, do yourself
a favor and listen to them. They are the best cover band I have ever heard. I
would recommend them to anyone interested in having an event to remember." Rob
Marshall, St. Charles
We wanted some really special entertainment for
our Anniversary Party, and on a recommendation from the banquet coordinator at
our country club we discovered Soda. We hadn't seen them before, but the information
and audio on their website looked promising. We couldn't have made a better choice.
All of our friends and family remarked on how wonderful they were. They were professional
in every sense of the word and were truly the life of the party! John and Anne
Reilly, Glencoe
