Listening to the Seattle-based, original instrumental funk & soul group,
True Loves, is like walking down a favorite neighborhood street, slapping
five with your friends, checking up with clerks in their stores, and admiring
your sun-glassed face in their windows. The band is its own block party.
What began in 2014 as a jam session between 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.

Afternoon” in 2021. 2024 saw the band release the single “Good Weed and
Red Wine” followed by their second European tour. A second single "Dopus
