What’s Happening

History and Concept

Los Souldees is a Houston-based group formed in early 2024. Although the band itself is relatively new, its members are seasoned veterans who have known each other for years from sharing stages and festival lineups across Texas. They describe their sound as "Motown meets Houston."

• The Name: Derived from the “souldies” culture—classic 1950s, 60s, and 70s soul tracks deeply rooted in the Chicano and lowrider communities of the American Southwest. They chose the "-ees" spelling as a homage to vintage 1960s Chicano soul groups.
  

• Musical Influences: Their repertoire is heavily inspired by Texas soul legends, Motown classics, and West Coast Chicano soul, citing influences such as Sunny & The Sunliners, Augie Meyers, Doug Sahm, Sam Cooke, and Los Lobos.

Music and Live Shows

Releases: The group debuted with original tracks like "Let's Jam Baby" and released their first studio album, Wildflower.

Residency: They hold a monthly local residency performing every second Thursday of the month at The Big Easy(located on Kirby Drive in Houston), along with regional dates across Texas cities like Seguin and Waco.
