If you’re in Los Angeles this week, don’t miss Jeff Hershey & The Heartbeats at The Troubadour tonight! Fans of Fitz and the Tantrums and Raphael Saadiq will love the Motown-inspired sound of this SoCal quintet, and analog lovers will fall in love with their recent album Soul Music Vol. 1 (now available on iTunes). Be sure to check out the amazing video below featuring mastermind Jeff Hershey himself telling the backstory about the band and their style. I spoke to him via email this week (pictured second from left above, below), and he had this to say about the performance:

“We’re very excited to be performing at the lengendary Troubadour!  We’ve waited a long time to bring our energy and excitement to the Los Angeles area.  This is one of those moments where I feel proud to be in the hardest working band I know.  It’s gonna be an explosion from the stage!  Can’t wait!”
