Soul Porpoise

Burlington’s Premier Funk & Soul Experience

High-energy live music for venue dates, festivals, weddings, private events and packed dance floors.

About Soul Porpoise

Soul Porpoise lays down organ driven funk and soul inspired by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Dr. John, and Herbie Hancock. Collin Cope's gritty vocals have been compared to Joe Cocker and Ray Charles and breathe fire into Ira Friedman's heartfelt original songs. This soul drenched band will move your body with craft songs and airtight grooves.

Help Fund the New Album

After years of writing, gigging, and building our sound together, we’re finally ready to record our first full-length album of original music. But as any independent artist knows — recording, mixing, mastering, and producing a high-quality record isn’t cheap.

That’s where you come in.

Your support will help us:

  • Record in a professional studio with the gear and expertise our music deserves

  • ️Mix and master tracks for streaming, vinyl, and CD

  • Press and release the album

  • Create a few music videos and live performance clips to share our sound with the world
