Central Coast California's high-voltage soul, funk & Motown party band — nine pieces, one groove.
The Soul Cats Band brings a nine-piece live show to the Central Coast — twin saxophones, a rhythm section that doesn't quit, and vocals out front that turn a dance floor on in the first eight bars.
We built our set list around the songs that make a room move: Motown, funk, classic soul, and the dance hits that bridge every decade from the '60s through right now. Weddings, wineries, breweries, private parties, festivals — we read the room and keep it moving.
Our sets move between eras and genres on purpose — built to read a crowd and keep them on their feet all night.
A running list of public shows — private events booked separately below.
A few moments from recent shows — weddings, wineries, and the crowds who wouldn't sit down.

Our current rotation — three sets built to take a crowd from listening to dancing and keep them there.
The setlist evolves show to show as we read the room, so treat this as a guide to our vibe rather than a fixed script.
You don't need to do this to book us — our set is always shaped around the crowd and the room on the night.
