Zach Bellas is the name of the band. And they truly are a band. A three-piece national touring alternative rock powerhouse with a catalog of incredible music and an undeniably brilliant live show.

Slightly psychedelic and punk adjacent, their sound is a delicious mirepoix of the great rock bands of the past. Strong 70’s and early 90’s classic rock influences can be felt throughout mixed with blues, reggae, country, jazz, and a variety of latin music influences – all marry together to make a distinctly unique, but also instantly familiar experience that fans adore.

While originally rooted in the Washington, DC area and now located in Wilmington, North Carolina, the band really took shape during their formative years in Baltimore, Maryland. With Tom McAteer on drums, Kyle Hadley on bass and backing vocals, and Zach Bellas on lead vocals and guitar – the band had an unfortunate start.

After spending the better part of 2019 recording two albums at the same time and planning two full nationwide tours totaling almost 200 shows, the band was forced on hiatus by the Covid 19 pandemic in 2020. Over the next couple years, the group slowly eked out a few singles, a short ep, and scrapped together tours with whatever venues were able to open at the time.

As things opened back up, the band went back into full force. They released a full-length album called No Questions No Answers to great acclaim followed by their greatest work to date – a single named ‘One More Show’ – to immensely positive response from both fans and in the press, which was immediately followed by another winner, the hit song ‘Congratulations’

Now back in a very solid rhythm, 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year ever for the band. They have a new full-length album in the works that they are recording in Wilmington, NC and performing live as much as possible.

Soul-R Fusion is an acoustic guitar and fretless bass songwriter duo that will draw you in and take you on a  mystic musical journey.

Tim Koehler (acoustic guitar / vocals) and Alex Goodell (fretless bass) are both originally from New Jersey, but met by chance in Wilmington, North Carolina in 2015.  When they collaborated things really clicked, and they developed an original sound by blending diverse musical influences and unique approaches to their instruments and to songwriting.

Tim began playing guitar in his early teens and is largely self-taught.  He was the lead guitarist and frontperson for several New Jersey based bands.  Then, with a switch from electric to acoustic, Tim went solo, playing acoustic guitar in the Red Bank, NJ music scene and occasionally dipping into the crowded Greenwich Village folk scene.  After several relocations, he ended up in Wilmington, NC, where he frequented open-mics and gigged as a solo singer-songwriter.

Tim’s “superpower” has always been his ability to get to the emotional center of a song.  His thoughtfully crafted lyrics relate stories, experiences, and emotions that he brings to life with his rich, soulful vocals.

Alex played classical violin throughout her childhood.  She started playing bass as a teenager and is a graduate of the bass guitar program at Musicians Institute in California.  She has played with a variety of bands on the east and west coasts, performing a range of genres including rock power trio, Elvis tribute, county-rock, funk-soul, surf, retro-instrumental mash-up, and jam band.

Alex’s melodic bass playing highlights the magical qualities of the fretless bass.

This complementary combination led to the formation of Soul-R Fusion, and the duo became partners in music and life.

Soul-R Fusion features the interplay between Tim’s intelligent, heartfelt lyrics, and Alex’s ethereal fretless basslines. Their songs are optimistic reflections on life.
