who are THE VIBRAM SOULS?
As anyone who has spent time in the mountains knows, it can be a deeply satisfying experience to conquer ridges, climbs, trails and valleys. At the end of these days, guitars and song around the campfire is the icing on top. That's how the Vibram Souls started.
All members of a mountain club, we started to plan what songs we would sing at group events, and thought a practice or two may be a good idea. Then in early 2014, we heard about the Youth in the Mountains program through the Boyle Street Community Services. Our friends and fellow club members encouraged us to play more, so we planned a fundraiser gig. Over $750 was raised to support this terrific program for at-risk youth, and 60 people filled the Mill Creek Cafe to capacity and danced all night! Ever since we have been practising, playing and having a lot of fun - every show we play, we've been asked back - that's the biggest reward a performer and music lover could ask for. We have had a few members retire from the band and have been lucky enough to welcome a few new members with the same joy for making music with friends and apparently music trivia too!
Let us know if you have an idea for a show! Email us!

VIBRAM SOULS ALUM!
As with all musicians who play for love instead of money, life changes can make it hard to do everything, and sometimes it means a band member retires. Every member who has been a Vibram Soul will always be a Vibram Soul, and has shaped our experiences and memories tremendously!
