Soca Jukebox writes songs.

Songs have words and they are meant to be sung.

Original music from Soca Jukebox…

“Lay You Down” is a stripped down, acoustic, island rock ballad written by Clay Johnston and Jason Riley and features a duet-style backing vocal by Jolie Riley. Johnston whispers in the listener’s ear through an intimate conversation accompanied by reggae-inspired acoustic guitars, light percussion and colorful accents. “Lay You Down” is love song about a couple at the edge of walking away or making it all work out. “Hang on another day, resist the urge to run and stay to hideaway in our love.”

The song represents the band’s first original music release. Soca Jukebox is the premier show band in their genre and has toured extensively. The band released a double live album in 2014 called “Live Voodoo and Live Voodoo Too”. Soca Jukebox shows feature a wide variety of stylized arrangements of familiar music from influential artists like Bob Marley, Santana, Sublime, The Eagles, Paul Simon, Jimmy Buffett and a liberal sprinkling of band’s own island and latin rock originals.
The initial reviews for “Lay You Down” have been very positive and some even more “ecstatic”.
