Single Barrel Shuffle, an album born on the road..
Written on the Trans Siberian Railway, Beale street, Memphis, late night bars in Tel Aviv, NY, LA, Europe and while touring Israel extensively supporting international blues stars, this album is all about playing your dues.

SOBO is an International rock-n-blues band integrating American, Russian and Middle Eastern influences.

Based in the Holy City of Jerusalem, SOBO has an International Message of Freedom.

In February 2017 SOBO set out to play their respects and participate in the International Blues Challenge held in Memphis TN.

SOBO had huge success and were acknowledged by the judges, audience and their peers making it all the way to the finals held in the world famous Orpheum Theatre.

This is the first time a band from Israel has made it to the Finals and a big rarity for any non American band.

SOBO are very proud to call themselves IBC Finalists.

SOBO is legendary in Israel for its powerful and energetic mix of blues, rock, R&B and funk coupled with a unique sound of slide guitar.

It was SOBO’s inspired blues jams and intense funk rhythms that helped found the still-growing Israeli blues scene. The band performed at venues all through Israel and the Netherlands during the 90s, and recorded their first album in 1998, which was received very positively in Israel.

SOBO has shared the stage with Sonny Landreth, Marcus King, Gov't Mule, Anna Popovic, Kenny ‘Blues Boss’ Wayne, John Lee Hooker Jr., Oli Brown, JC Smith, Alvon Johnson, Robert Lighthouse, Candye Kane & Laura Chaves, Lil Jimmy Reed, Sharon Lewis, Sergey Voronov, Blues Company and many other great blues players.
