Listening to the Seattle-based, original instrumental funk & soul group, True Loves, is like walking down a favorite neighborhood street, slapping five with your friends, checking up with clerks in their stores, and admiring your sun-glassed face in their windows. The band is its own block party. What began in 2014 as a jam session between drummer David McGraw, bassist Bryant Moore and guitarist Jimmy James- has since blossomed into a global force that features percussionist Iván Galvez, Trombonist Greg Kramer, and saxophonists Gordon Brown and Skerik. Together, the group’s live performances have garnered them much acclaim and millions of streams on YouTube.

In 2017, the True Loves recorded their debut album, Famous Last Words, which received worldwide adulation, earning them performances at coveted music festivals. The band released their sophomore album “Sunday Afternoon” in 2021. 2024 saw the band release the single “Good Weed and Red Wine” followed by their second European tour. A second single "Dopus no. 1" was released in January 2025 with a vinyl 7" release of both songs on Valentine's day.

“To me, working with The True Loves is an experience that I get very excited about. The reasons being are, because first of all, they are good people. That means a lot to me. They are also a joy to be around. Each one of them across that stage is innately talented and gifted but what I love the most is knowing their journey. They’ve worked very hard, creating together and remaining together, while respecting eachother. These things are also very important to me. When the opportunity arises for us to work together, I already know that I will be met with and handled with that same respect and care. The strawberry on top of that cake is the music. Just being in their company and listening to them play is a special thing to behold. They are very professional yet relaxed and loose and they are very considerate towards me, the vocalist. All of this makes for a thoroughly enjoyable experience, working with The True Loves. Their body of music thus far, speaks volumes about them, in itself and I truly expect beautiful and great things for them now and in the future.” (Saundra Williams, singer with Sharon Jones & the DapKings, Saun and Starr, and Low Cut Connie)
