Thee Sacred Souls @ The Wiltern [12/04/24]
By: Caroline Sanchez
If you could bottle up the better part of lazy Sunday afternoons, nostalgia, and the sickly-sweet feeling of being in love, it’d sound a lot like Thee Sacred Souls. Hailing from San Diego, the main trio is composed of drummer Alex Garcia, bassist Sal Samano, and singer-songwriter Josh Lane. The self-described retro-soul band consistently delivers a blend of smooth tracks accompanied by jazzy melodies reminiscent of ‘60s and ‘70s grooves. Despite their So-Cal origins, it’s their first time in L.A. and the “SOLD OUT” letters under the Wiltern’s lights prove just how eager Angelenos are to hear their latest album, Got a Story to Tell, live for the first time on tour.

This dark comedy is not vacuous; it contains serious undertones, generating sympathy and laughs from the audience.
