About Thee Sinseers and the Love Stories Tour

Thee Sinseers are one of the most exciting names in the modern Chicano soul revival. The eight-piece band is anchored by Joey Quinones, the East Los Angeles native who serves as the frontman, primary songwriter, and producer behind the project. Rounding out the lineup are guitarists Francisco Flores and Bryan Ponce, bassist Christopher Manjarrez, drummer Luis Carpio, vocalist Adriana Flores, and a full brass section led by tenor saxophonist Eric Johnson, baritone saxophonist Steve Surman, and trombonist Jose Luis Jimenez. Together, the group has built a sound that pulls equally from 1960s and 70s Latin soul, classic Memphis R and B, Jamaican ska and reggae, and the Spanish-language oldies that soundtracked generations of East LA cruising culture.

Their debut self-titled EP and follow-up singles caught fire on streaming and in independent record stores during the late 2010s and early 2020s, riding the wave of revival labels like Colemine, Daptone, and Big Crown. The band's warm, vinyl-ready production and Joey Quinones' instantly recognizable vocals turned songs like Can I Call You and Need Your Love into modern oldies, racking up tens of millions of plays and locking down a fiercely loyal live audience across the West Coast and Texas.

The sophomore studio album, Love Stories, lands September 18 on Colemine Records. The lead single Did Ya Know? arrived in May 2026 alongside the album announcement and showcased a fuller, more orchestrated sound while keeping the band's core warmth. Quinones has described the record as a deliberate group effort, with arrangements and writing built collectively in the studio rather than handed down from a single producer. The result is a record fans of the first wave will recognize but also one that pushes the project forward.

The 2026 tour is the most ambitious run of the band's career. The summer dates kick off July 31 at the McDonald Theatre in Eugene with The Altons on the bill, followed by Seattle's Neptune Theatre on August 1 and a vineyard date at Delfino Farms in Camino, California on August 8. The fall brings a European leg with stops in Utrecht, Groningen, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Antwerp in late September, followed by United Kingdom dates including London, Manchester, and Bristol, plus stops in Paris and across Germany.

The fall North American leg is the centerpiece. It opens with a hometown headline at the iconic Wiltern in Los Angeles on October 17 -- a 1,850-capacity Art Deco landmark on Wilshire Boulevard and one of the most coveted theater rooms in the country. From there the run sweeps through the Southwest with stops at The Van Buren in Phoenix, the Lowbrow Palace in El Paso, Cine El Rey in McAllen, The Heights in Houston, Stable Hall in San Antonio, and The Kessler in Dallas, before climbing north for nights at the Gothic Theatre in Englewood, the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins, The Commonwealth Room in Salt Lake City, and a closer at The Fillmore in San Francisco on November 6.

What makes a Thee Sinseers show special is the way the band balances polish with looseness. The horns punch hard, the harmonies are tight, and Quinones can switch from a falsetto croon to a full-throated lead in the space of a single phrase. The setlists tend to weave between original cuts and a few well-chosen covers, with crowds singing along to every chorus. For fans of Chicano soul in particular, a night with Thee Sinseers feels like a celebration of a tradition that is finally getting the spotlight it deserves.
