Thee Sacred Souls Release New Album and 24′ 25′ Tour Dates

Thee Sacred Souls continue to build anticipation for their forthcoming album Got A Story To Tell (out October 4 on Daptone Records) with the release of “Waiting on the Right Time.” A song about balancing patience with seizing the moment and finding that ideal time to say “I love you,” “Waiting on the Right Time” explores a more psychedelic side of Thee Sacred Souls with heavy reverb and a searing guitar line over a swaggering groove that burns slow and steady. Thee Sacred Souls have also just announced a second leg of their ‘24-25 international tour, with sold out shows including Brooklyn’s Paramount Theater November 8. Their summer was filled with notable performances, including a triumphant debut at Celebrate Brooklyn for nearly 10,000 people, a spotlight set at Montreal Jazz Festival, and at Fool In Love in Los Angeles over Labor Day weekend, on a bill stacked with soul legends. The full tour schedule is detailed here and the newly announced dates go on sale this Friday at 10AM local time (artist presale goes live at 10AM local time today) at theesacredsouls.com/tour-dates.

Got A Story To Tell, written by the band’s founding members Alejandro Garcia, Salvador Samano, and Josh Lane, features 12 brand new tracks that solidify Thee Sacred Souls’ reputation as masters of their craft. Recorded at Penrose Recorders in Riverside, CA, under the expert guidance of producer Gabriel Roth, the album is a testament to the band’s growth and their deepening connection to the soul music that inspired them. The album is rich with layers of sound—strings, smooth guitar, piano, congas, and horns—all coming together to weave tales of love, struggle, and triumph.
Punctuated with strings and smooth guitar, trundling piano, pops of conga, and horns, Got A Story To Tell is a thrilling, layered listen that slowly unravels a novella of characters and evocative tales. Lead single “Lucid Girl” champions independent women, set to some of the toughest sounding drums and bass the band has yet to put to tape. “Live For You” oozes with timeless style while revealing a message of perseverance and self love.
The highly anticipated follow-up to their self-titled 2022 breakout, Got A Story To Tell is a reflection of the band’s journey—marked by relentless touring, newfound fame, and the trials that come with rapid success. In just two years, the band’s“music of terrifyingly high quality” (UNCUT) led to a performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk, several TV show appearances — Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CBS Saturday, Kelly Clarkson, Jools Holland, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert — six million monthly listeners on Spotify, an ever-growing list of celebrity fans including SZA, Alicia Keys, Leon Bridges, and Kylie Jenner, and festival debuts at Bonnaroo, Newport Folk, Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza.

Jason Aldean & Luke Bryan Announce Additional Stadium Headline Dates: The “DOUBLE DOWN TOUR 2026”
Reigning ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean and five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan today announced the “DOUBLE DOWN TOUR 2026,” an expansion of co-headlining stadium dates set to kick off this August. The tour adds four additional concerts in 2026 following their sold-out UGA Sanford Stadium show last week (4/25) that reunited the Georgia natives in front of 63,000 fans. Watch a recap of the tour date here. Openers Gavin Adcock, Dasha, Chase Matthew, Jon Pardi, Dylan Scott, and Lauren Watkins have been added as support across select dates, listed below. Openers Dee Jay Silver & DJ Rock are across all dates. The tour is promoted by Live Nation.
Both Aldean’s and Bryan’s fan club members will have ticket presales starting Wednesday, May 6, at 10 AM local time and continuing through Thursday, May 7 at 10 PM local time, followed by local team presales starting Thursday, May 7, at 10 AM local time. Tickets to the public go on sale Friday, May 8, at 10 AM local time. Tickets are available at JasonAldean.com and LukeBryan.com.
“If our time in Georgia was a barometric measurement of what’s ahead, these shows with Jason will make it one of the best touring years of my life. And the fans will hopefully feel the same way,” shared Bryan.
“Luke and I have each been at this, career-wise and as friends, for over twenty years, and have gotten to hit a lot of milestones along the way. We’ve gotten to share the stage plenty of times over the years, and playing UGA was just a preview of what’s coming for the rest of these shows,” shared Aldean.
The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, exclusive access to a backstage tour, invitation to the pre-show VIP Tailgate Lounge, VIP-exclusive gift item & more.

Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Aldean released his latest studio album, Songs About Us, last week (4/24). The album features the Georgia native’s 31st career #1, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go,” as well as his current Top 15 radio single, “Don’t Tell On Me,” the album’s title track, “Songs About Us” with Luke Bryan, and more, totaling 20 new songs that have been praised as his “best album in a decade” (Entertainment Focus). Having cemented his status as one of the format’s most consistent hitmakers, ACM Artist of the Decade Aldean’s latest studio album Songs About Us follow’s Aldean’s career-spanning collection 30 Number One Hits, which debuted last year at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart — marking Aldean’s 13th Top 10 country album in 20 years. Known for his electrifying live shows and breakout crossover hits, Aldean is set to hit the road for his “Songs About Us” Tour in July following his Full Throttle World Tour, which marked his first ever headlining run in New Zealand as well as his historic headlining return to Australia.
Luke will wrap his ninth season as a celebrity judge on American Idol alongside Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie on May 11, and he will kick off his headline “Word On The Street Tour” on May 29. Since the start of his career, Luke has garnered more than 27 billion global streams, 12 million global album sales, and more than 48 million track sales worldwide, with 32 #1 singles. He became a SoundExchange Hall of Fame recipient as one of the most-streamed artists in the organization’s 20-year history. He has received more than 50 music awards, including Most Heard Artist of the Decade, Artist/Songwriter of the Year, Artist Humanitarian, and an ACM Lifting Lives Award honoring his devotion to improving lives through the power of music.
