The Gold Souls have a lot to say — and now, as a full eight-piece band, they’re channeling their message through feel-good funk music and driven by undeniable soul power.
Featuring a sharp, all-women horn section, The Gold Souls are ready to celebrate the arrival of their new full-length album, “Something In The Air,” debuting on April 24, with a release party hosted at the Torch Club on Saturday, April 26.
The addition of brass — saxophone, trumpet and trombone — and the occasional woodwind amplifies the band’s dynamic sound. For lead vocalist Juniper Waller, expanding the lineup with more women wasn’t just about instrumentation, but also intention: Representation matters, especially in the funk and jam band scenes, which she says is largely dominated by men both on and off stage.
“I just wanted to get more women up on stage,” Waller says. “Now, when we show up, and we have half women, half men in this big-ass band, it really sends a message to everyone involved that there’s no reason it should be this way.”
