You can solo as a bard fairly effective till about 21st or 22nd level.

98% of the experience I've made from 22nd to 30th has been in groups. And
90% of that has been in a dungeon.

Soloing is fine, but to a degree it's actually counter productive. The
skills you learn soloing generally aren't the same types of skills you need
to be working effectively in a group.

Anyways, it's *SO* much more fun in a full group, with everyone knowing
their role. Once you've tasted it, you'll find it terrible to be w/o a
group.
