Solar Wind is a progressive jazz/rock band out of Houston Texas that currently plays original material
from our four CD's "Hard Times", "For Square", "2nd Wind" and "Five Sheets to the Wind". 
When performing live we also like to cover songs from such fusion greats as -
Mike Stern, Chick Corea, John Scofield, Billy Cobham, Scott Henderson, and The Brecker Brothers.

The new CD, Hard Times, is finally here for 2023 which we have spent countless hours working on.
This is the second CD with the incredible Keith Vivens on bass and we think this is some of the most challenging music we’ve ever done where many of the songs represents "Hard Times".

Our third CD, For Square, is the first CD with the incredible Keith Vivens on bass and we think you’re really going to enjoy Keith’s playing and contributions to the band. Another first is that this is the first CD we’ve ever done where each of the members contributed compositions. The CD also features some great Fender Rhodes playing from special guest Gilbert Sedeno. Gil plays on Four Miles to Missouri and Simone, both of which include solos from Gil, and we think you’ll really dig his playing.

Our second Solar Wind CD which we feel is a nice leap forward from our first CD. This CD features local guest artists Paul Chester, Will Cruz, Dennis Dotson, Marty Lindsay, and Jose-Miguel Yamal who we thank for their great playing and contributions on this CD.

Our first Solar Wind CD featuring core band members Mike Brown and Mark Kinnear with
Brett Busch (Keys/Guitar), Paul Conroy (Sax), and Stephan Wyatt (Bass)

Press reviews- "Solar Wind's "Five Sheets to the Wind", has attracted a loyal audience both for their recording and their live performances in their hometown of Houston, Texas. The CD was recorded at Cat Box studio and features long fusion jams, extended solo's, lots of interplay between band members, and a total lack of regard for anything that might resemble pop radio!"
