LAKE PLACID – Soul Sky will take the stage at Delta Blue Friday, Sept. 2 and Saturday, Sept. 3 from 9 p.m. to midnight.

The bluesy, jammy rock and roll band formed in late 2012 with Blues Hall of Famer Mark Emantian, Jeremy Walz, Tom Dolan and Josh Bloomfield.

It was formed out of the merger of two great Northeast bands that had enjoyed years of success, Folding Sky, led by Mark, and Right Coast Soul, led by the dynamic Jeremy Walz. These two award winning guitarists, vocalists and songwriters are joined by the rhythm section of Josh Bloomfield on drums and Tom Dolan on bass. Together they form a band that combines original material with unique versions of classic blues, Delta blues and Chicago blues.

Emanatian made his name playing for 11 years with Ernie Williams and the Wildcats. He has also performed with Patti Smith, Levon Helm, Buddy Guy, Bruce Willis and Hubert Sumlin. Dolan toured for years with Folding Sky, Tom Healey, Erin Harkes, and has backed up Big Time Sarah, Rhett Tyler and of course, Ernie Williams. Walz, a judge at the annual International Blues Competition in Memphis, has toured with Tas Cru, Bo Diddley, Larry McCray and Big Eye Willie Smith. Josh Bloomfield has toured with Albert Cummings, Murali Coryall, The Slow Happy Boys, and Erin Harkes.
