"There isn’t enough time in the world to do full justice to the qualities of every member of H&S, but it would be wrong not to spotlight the unit’s brilliant drummer Sofia, whose drive and precision across 5-6 hours behind her kit each night put her in a class with any of the world’s great soul drummers, from Al Jackson Jr, Howard Grimes and Roger Hawkins to Benny Benjamin, James Gadson and beyond."
-Tony Rounce, Ace Records (On Porretta Soul Festival)

Sofia is an amazing player and teacher. Her group, The Sofia Goodman Group playing regularly in town as well as tours which is inspiring and for me, very important to see my teacher as someone who gigs regularly. I really enjoy my lessons with her and have become a better player under her wing.
