About this concert
Listening to the abundant sounds of the Seattle-based funk & soul group, The True Loves, is like walking down a favorite neighborhood street, slapping-five with friends, checking up with clerks in their stores, admiring your own dark sun-glassed face in their windows, ducking under flowerpots and smelling the familiar smells of your most cherished locale. The band is its own block party.What began in 2014 as a jam session between three of the citys best - pocket-perfect drummer David McGraw, intoxicating bassist Bryant Moore and otherworldly guitarist Jimmy James - has since blossomed into a global force that now features percussionist Ivn Galvez and four horn players: trombonists Jason Cressey and Greg Kramer and saxophonists Gordon Brown and Skerik. Together, the groups live performances have garnered them much local acclaim and millions of streams on YouTube. In 2017, the True Loves recorded their debut instrumental LP, Famous Last Words, which received citywide adoration and earned them spots at coveted festivals like Sasquatch, Doe Bay, and Upstream. In 2018, the group released the Dapper Derp/Kabuki 45 on WeCoast Records and in 2019 the famed Colemine Records released the Famous Last Words/Mary Pop Poppins 45. And while the band nourishes audiences all over the country - from its start with former singer Grace Love to their current eight-piece lineup - theres still plenty to go around.
