Seattle’s Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley welcomes the city’s own instrumental soul powerhouse, True Loves, for five nights and seven shows starting Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at 7:30 PM (PDT). Performing at 2033 6th Ave, Seattle, WA, the band delivers a dynamic, groove-filled live experience that feels like a block party you never want to end. Doors open at 6:00 PM each night.
True Loves has cultivated a sound that’s instantly recognizable—original, soulful, and irresistibly funky. Led by Jimmy James (electric guitar), Bryant Moore (bass guitar/electric), and David McGraw (drums), the Seattle-based ensemble also features Iván Galvez (congas/percussion), Gordon Brown (tenor sax), Greg Kramer (trombone), and Skerik (baritone sax). Together, their performances blend tight grooves, bold horn arrangements, and infectious rhythms that transport listeners straight into the heart of the music.
Founded in 2014 as an impromptu jam session, True Loves quickly evolved into a full-fledged band with a global following. Their 2017 debut album, Famous Last Words, earned critical acclaim and festival bookings worldwide, while their sophomore release, Sunday Afternoon (2021), solidified their reputation for soulful, immersive grooves. The band continued to push boundaries with 2024’s single “Good Wd and Red Wine”** and 2025’s “Dopus No. 1”, both celebrated with a special vinyl release on Valentine’s Day. Their performances showcase their mastery of funk, soul, and jazz fusion, while maintaining an approachable, community-driven energy that reflects their Seattle roots.
Listening to True Loves is described as walking down a familiar street, bumping into friends, and soaking up the sun-soaked rhythms of life. Their music is personal, celebratory, and full of connection, bringing audiences into a lively, shared experience that transcends the stage.
For fans of instrumental soul, funk, and tight, expressive live performances, True Loves at Jazz Alley is a must-see event. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering them for the first time, these shows promise a night of groove, energy, and unforgettable musicianship.
