Thee Sacred Souls: Live For You Tour

CRITIC’S PICK: Thee Sacred Souls, The Tabernacle—Those who love the 70s era of soul singing acts like The O’Jays, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, The Stylistics and The Manhattans might think, when hearing Thee Sacred Souls, they have found the perfect time machine to return them to that golden age. Anyone who says they don’t make ‘em like that anymore needs to get a dose of this San Diego based retro trio as they sway, swoon and testify to the joys and frustrations of love sounding like some great lost group from 50 years ago. The fact that they can fill a relatively large hall like this, means there are plenty of folks out there hungry to relive old times with a current band. They even have a terrific new album in Got a Story to Tell. Classic and cool. — Hal Horowitz
