Animal Soul is a Four Corners-based alternative rock band whose original music blends the grit and inspiration of classic rock with the charm and sophistication of today’s indie pop. The sound is genre-fluid, weaving hints of power pop, americana, glam, and soul into a sonic fabric all its own. Live, Animal Soul is innovative, eccentric, and seriously entertaining, serving up a blistering potpourri of energetic sonic inventions.

The band has its roots back in 2012, when founder Anthony Braun first performed around New York City under the Animal Soul name, but the current line-up, which began coming together in Durango in 2024, reflects the ultimate expression of the Animal Soul spirit, weaving together the vocal and songwriting effervescence of lead singer/keyboardist Abi Nicholas, the harmonic intelligence of lead guitarist Alex Read, bassist Guy Ewing’s melodically-inventive foundation, and Drew Greene hard-driving beat, and infused throughout by Anthony Braun’s distinctive songwriting, orchestration, and production.
