Myron & E with the Soul Investigators.

The road to soul by Northern Cali's Myron & E (Myron Glasper and Eric "E da Boss" Cooke) ran through hip-hop first.  They met while on tour with Oakland's Blackalicious - Cooke was teh tour DJ and Glasper sang backup - and bonded over a love of classic soul music.

While on a separate tour through Finland, a chance encounter led Cooke to an impromptu jam session with members of The Soul INvestiagors, whose work with singer Nicole Willis helped define them as one of Europe's foremost retro-soul bands.  Producer Didler Selin was impressed enough to leave Cooke with several Soul INvestigator tracks.  Back in the Bay Area, he recruited Glasper as a songwriting/vocal team and the collaboration had begun.

Myron & E with the Soul investigators released a string of limited edition 45s which radiated such an authentic soul vibe that they were embraced through Europe and America, and caught on with the low-rider scene in California.

In the past year, the team focused on building its live show and perfecting its debut album, Broadway, now being released on Stones Throw Records.

If I Gave You My Love

While touring in Finland behind his solo project, E found himself in an impromptu jam session with members of The Soul Investigators, whose work with singer Nicole Willis helped define them as one of Europe's foremost retro-soul bands. “I don’t really think there’s anybody else that can do it as good as they can,” E says about the band. “They do it like none other.” While on the road with the Bay Area’s Blackalicious E recruited Myron as a singing and songwriting partner, and Myron & E was born.

Alongside The Soul Investigators, the duo released a string of funk 45s on the Timmion label — starting with 2008’s “Cold Game”/”I Can’t Let You Get Away” — before signing with Stones Throw last year. Since then, Myron & E have been focused on building their live performance, which includes sold-out shows and a stellar showing at SXSW. 

This summer Myron & E are proud to be releasing their debut album, Broadway.
