True Loves

Listening to the Seattle-based original funk & soul group, True Loves, is like

walking down a favorite neighborhood street, slapping-five with friends,

checking up with clerks in their stores, and smelling the familiar scents of your

most cherished locale. The band is it’s own block party. What began in 2014 as

a jam session between three of the city’s best- 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 instrumental LP, Famous Last Words, which received worldwide adoration, earning

them spots at coveted music festivals. In 2018, the group released the “Dapper

Derp/Kabuki” 45” on WeCoast Records followed by 2019’s Colemine Records “Famous

Last Words/Mary Pop Poppins” 45 single. The band released their sophomore album

“Sunday Afternoon” in 2021, on Color Red Music.
