On Wednesday 1 July, Thee Sacred Souls perform at Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Open-Air Theatre as part of the 33rd Istanbul Jazz Festival, organized by IKSV. The San Diego-based soul group has gained international attention for a warm, vintage-leaning sound that draws on classic 1960s and 70s soul traditions while maintaining a contemporary sensibility. Tickets are available via Passo.
Built around vocalist Josh Lane, the band blends smooth vocal melodies with understated grooves and analog-inspired arrangements. Songs like “Can I Call You Rose?” helped introduce the group to a wider audience, highlighting their ability to balance nostalgic soul textures with modern songwriting.
Known for intimate yet energetic live performances, Thee Sacred Souls bring a sound shaped by classic R&B, Latin soul influences, and minimalist instrumentation. Their appearance at the festival promises an evening centered on timeless melodies, soulful vocals, and the understated warmth that defines their music.
