How heady a year has 2022 been for Thee Sacred Souls, the young San Diego band reverently breathing new life into the sweetest soul music of the 1960s?
"Sometimes, it's hard to just take it all in," said Alex Garcia, the group's 26-year-old drummer and co-founder.
Formed in 2019 by Garcia, bassist Sal Samano and lead singer Josh Lane, the trio's accomplishments this year would be impressive for any group, let alone one that not very long ago was cutting its teeth performing at such small San Diego clubs as the Whistle Stop and Soda Bar.
