Soul patch club.

I noticed many bassists, including myself have soul patches. The other day some one asked me if I was a bass player, I had a cap on, no other clues.

So how many of you have this particular hair beard?

That Olympic ice skater guy extra long soul patch into goatee counts too.

I've considered it, it should work with my big moustache, but I've not really decided yet if it's cool or silly. I think I'll give it a go next vacation period so I don't have to do this experiment at work.

Frank Zappa called that an "Imperial"!.


WIKi pedia is cool, I didn't know soul patches were associated with musicians for real, I'm not sure thats right, there has to be a lot of non musicians that have them.

I have a similar experience - - people often ask me if I'm a musician. My reply, invariably is "barely". That always makes 'em stop and think.

I rock a 'chin hawk' which started out years ago as a soul patch. Does that count?

Wanna see something bwierd? One of these is NOT ME.

A rare no patch poopie of me, and my doppelganger that won moustache champion this year. Anyone know his name? Gotta meet him, even my mom thought it was me photoshopped. And I would wear those scarfs but my girlfriend won't let me. Trippy.

Edit, there is a tiny trimmed patch i just noticed. I feel naked without it.

I got the patch. It's the only facial hair I grow.


I play 99 % of the time on the blues scene. Nobody notices, it's very normal.

The "scarf" is an Ascot, and my preferred neckware 'cause I hate being choked at the neck by a shirt yet somehow the ascot doesn't make me feel like I'm being choked. I think they're classy and not many guys wear 'em anymore – sets you apart from the crowd a little.
