Thee Sacred Souls San Diego - August 2026 at Gallagher Square

San Diego’s soul revival kings return home. Thee Sacred Souls bring “The Constellation Tour” to Gallagher Square at Petco Park on Friday, August 28, 2026. The hometown show features special guests LA LOM and The Womack Sisters for a night of vintage soul, Latin grooves, and gospel harmonies under the San Diego sky.

About Thee Sacred Souls

Thee Sacred Souls are proof that San Diego can produce more than just punk rock and surf music. The trio—vocalist Josh Lane, bassist Sal Samano, and drummer Alex Garcia—formed in 2019 and quickly became torchbearers for a Chicano soul revival rooted in the vintage sounds of the ’60s and ’70s.

The Sound

Their music channels classic soul acts like The Delfonics, Curtis Mayfield, and early Marvin Gaye, but it’s not mere nostalgia. Thee Sacred Souls craft smooth, sophisticated soul with lush arrangements, Lane’s honeyed vocals, and lyrics about love, longing, and everyday life delivered with genuine warmth.

Breakthrough singles like “Can I Call You Rose?” and “Easier Said Than Done” found audiences far beyond San Diego, earning them a deal with Daptone Records—the legendary label behind Sharon Jones, Charles Bradley, and the soul revival movement.

The Homecoming

This Gallagher Square show represents a full-circle moment. Thee Sacred Souls played San Diego clubs and dive bars for years before national recognition. Now they’re headlining one of the city’s premier outdoor venues, bringing their vintage soul sound to thousands of hometown fans.

Their 2022 self-titled debut album and 2024 follow-up Got a Story to Tell showcase a band hitting their stride—seamlessly blending soul, funk, and Latin influences into something that feels timeless yet contemporary.

Essential tracks:

• “Can I Call You Rose?”
• “Easier Said Than Done”
• “Weak for Your Love”
• “Will Come to Light”
• “Got a Story to Tell”
• “Ooh Baby”

About LA LOM

LA LOM (short for “Los Angeles League of Musicians”) is a Los Angeles-based collective that reimagines traditional Mexican and Latin American music through a contemporary lens. Founded by multi-instrumentalist Zac Sokolow (guitarist for Chicano Batman), LA LOM blends cumbia, bolero, son jarocho, and psychedelic soul into something entirely their own.

Their self-titled 2023 debut album showcased the group’s genre-fluid approach—vintage Latin grooves meet modern production, classic songwriting meets experimental arrangements. Think: if Khruangbin collaborated with a traditional Mexican conjunto band at a desert campfire.

Tracks like “Quien Lo Dira” and “La Bruja” highlight their ability to honor tradition while pushing boundaries. The band features a rotating cast of LA’s finest musicians, creating rich, textured performances that feel both intimate and expansive.

Why they fit this bill perfectly: LA LOM’s Latin soul sensibility complements Thee Sacred Souls’ Chicano soul foundation, creating a cohesive evening of groove-heavy, culturally rooted music.

About The Womack Sisters

The Womack Sisters—Friendly Jr., Zekkariyas, Curtina, and Tikisa—are the daughters of soul legend Bobby Womack and carry forward their father’s gospel-soul legacy with powerful vocals and deep emotional conviction.

Growing up in the Womack musical dynasty (Bobby Womack co-wrote and performed with Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, and countless others), the sisters absorbed gospel, soul, and R&B from birth. Their performances blend church-rooted harmonies with the raw emotional delivery that made their father a legend.

The Womack Sisters honor their father’s legacy while carving their own path—delivering stripped-down, harmony-driven soul that emphasizes vocal prowess and authentic emotional connection. Their live shows are known for stopping crowds mid-conversation with sheer vocal power and spiritual intensity.

What to expect: Gospel-infused harmonies, soul standards, and performances that turn concert venues into church revival spaces. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when vocal talent runs deep in the family tree, The Womack Sisters provide the answer.
