San Diego – Thee Sacred Souls, a rising band known for their unique blend of vintage 1960s R&B and Chicano soul music, is celebrating a remarkable year highlighted by landmark performances and upcoming concerts. After a successful run, they have announced additional shows to meet the growing demand from fans.
Following their performances at both weekends of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in April, the band has gained significant recognition, drawing enthusiastic crowds. They also made a notable appearance at the Newport Jazz Festival this summer, further cementing their place within the music scene. Their recent North American tour alongside Kali Uchis included concerts in major arenas, with two performances at the iconic Madison Square Garden in New York.
On August 24, Thee Sacred Souls performed at the Pechanga Arena San Diego. As a testament to their popularity, tickets for their upcoming concert at the Cal Coast Credit Union Amphitheatre sold out quickly. This prompted the band to add a second performance on Thursday at 8 p.m. The venue, accommodating 4,600 attendees, is located at 5500 Campanile Drive at San Diego State University. Although the first night is sold out, resale tickets are available at marked-up prices.
Formed in 2019, Thee Sacred Souls features lead singer Josh Lane, bassist Sal Samano, and drummer Alex Garcia. Lane is recognized for his classically trained voice, drawing influence from music legends like Sam Cooke and Curtis Mayfield. Meanwhile, Garcia and Samano provide a rhythm section that is commended for its simplicity and effective support, allowing the band’s sound to shine. Their latest single, “We Don’t Have To Be Alone,” is a heartfelt love ballad that continues to resonate with fans.
Thee Sacred Souls’ international scope has expanded, with performances in prestigious festivals across England, Finland, Italy, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Their growth reflects a passionate following that started in intimate venues like the Whistle Stop and Soda Bar in San Diego.
As Thee Sacred Souls revel in their success, they are also aware of their roots and committed to maintaining their musical integrity. The band has expressed gratitude for the rapid growth and opportunities that have presented themselves this past year.
Looking ahead, the San Diego Tijuana International Jazz Festival is set to take place shortly, featuring renowned Mexican artist Arturo O’Farrill. O’Farrill will join the Fandango Fronterizo Colectivo for a performance scheduled on Saturday at 3 p.m. at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. Other line-up highlights include singers Gabrielle Cavassa and Lucia, as well as a tribute to the late saxophonist James Moody. Ticket prices for the festival range from $42 to $118.80.
In addition to Thee Sacred Souls, various concerts are on the horizon in San Diego, featuring acts such as Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears, UB40, and Robin Trower among others. Another notable performance includes Max Haymer, who will be playing at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center on October 5, celebrating famous Jewish jazz legends.
