The Gold Souls burst on the Sacramento music scene in early 2017 and are one of the most promising new talents in the area. Not only do they bring driving grooves of funk and rich textures of soul, they also deliver captivating lyrics and fresh arrangements with a vintage sound. One such track that captures this dynamic sound is their recent release, ‘94 Chevy. It is featured in the interview.

At Worldfest, I sat down with the dynamic and lovely lead singer Juniper Waller and also with their kind and clever drummer, Billy D. Thompson. Unfortunately, we don’t get to meet every member, but as you listen to their music, know that each member has a hand in writing and song composition, making The Gold Souls a truly collaborative effort.

The band has toured all up and down the West coast, as well as through New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, and New Orleans. Visit their website thegoldsouls.com for tour and release information. They perform an exciting live show that you’ll want to catch.
