Tickets: $20 | Ages 21+

Get ready for a night of Peace, Love & Soul as Soul Fuse, Sonoma County’s premier Soul, Funk, and R&B band, ignites the stage at HopMonk Sebastopol with their all-new nine-piece lineup.

Known for their tight grooves, powerhouse horns, and irresistible live energy, Soul Fuse has spent the last decade earning a reputation as one of Northern California’s most exciting and polished live acts. Their signature sound blends the timeless spirit of soul with the raw power of funk — original compositions, classic grooves, and musicianship honed from years of performing with some of the biggest names in music.

This special performance marks the debut of the band’s expanded lineup, featuring two world-class additions:
🎸 Brian Pardo – veteran guitarist, composer, and multi-genre performer whose credits include Jack McDuff, Stan Getz, Bonnie Raitt, and Train.
🎤 Lynn Ray Pardo – acclaimed vocalist and multi-instrumentalist whose dynamic range and emotional depth bring a new dimension to the Soul Fuse sound.

Together with the band’s core members — and their legendary horn section, The Fuser Horns — Soul Fuse delivers a sound that’s bigger, bolder, and even more electrifying than ever.

This isn’t just another local gig. It’s the evolution of one of the North Bay’s finest bands — a night that celebrates musicianship, unity, and the power of live performance. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the groove, expect an unforgettable evening of soulful rhythms, funky beats, and high-voltage energy that will move you from the first note to the last encore.

Come witness “The Fuse Burns Brighter” — and see why the county’s best band just got better.
