Who we are

A full horn section and nine reasons to dance.

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.

Setlist

What we're playing right now.

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.

Totally optional

You don't need to do this to book us — our set is always shaped around the crowd and the room on the night. But if you'd like to weigh in, check off the songs you'd love to hear and put them in whatever order you like using the arrows below. Your picks and running order get sent along with your booking request as a starting point — think of it as your wishlist rather than a locked script.

    Booking

    Bring the Soul Cats to your event.

    Weddings, corporate events, wineries, breweries, festivals and private parties across Santa Barbara & San Luis Obispo counties.

    Requests aren't guaranteed — we build the final set around the room and what keeps the dance floor moving, so requests are played at the band's discretion. If you used the "Build your own" setlist tool above, your picks and running order are already attached to this request.
