Raised on his Christian parents’ gospel music, as well as classic Motown records, Josh Lane’s velvety falsetto echoes the sound of a rich musical past, and Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield, in particular, resonate in his vocals. Together with his soulful fellow musicians of Thee Sacred Souls Lane effortlessly translates that legacy into a sound for all times, but especially for summertime. Their first singles were streamed over ten million times and attracted the attention of not only mainstream media outlets like Rolling Stone, but also major artists like Timbaland. Seeing them live is believing; the band’s first club shows immediately landed them a deal with the renowned New York-based independent label Daptone Records, on which their debut album Thee Sacred Souls was released in 2022. Given the ecstatic reviews, the fame of this young band from San Diego is going to spread like wildfire in coming years.
