The driving grooves of funk, rich textures of soul and compelling storytelling of the blues converge through The Gold Souls’ unique brand of boogie. Tantalized by lyrical catnip, fresh arrangements propel a classic sound, inspiring audiences with alluring messages straight from the heart to the dancefloor.

The vocal seduction of Juniper Waller takes hold from the get-go, leaving audiences hot and bothered in the best possible way. The dynamic talent and irresistible swagger of this vixen have a way of catapulting you back in time to the club on the other side of the tracks where strong drinks are imbibed, the dance floor could very well spin off its axis and the whole place is a powder keg on the verge of explosion.

Touring more extensively around the western hemisphere, The Gold Souls continue to elevate their game. Their pair of female horn players has asserted itself as the x-factor in this equation. Drummer Billy D. Thompson is a loaded weapon of deep pocket precision, guiding the funk ship into adventurous seas. After countless epic experiences at the Crazy Horse, they stake a certain claim to this stage, doing whatever they damn please.

Mr. Vale's Math Class is more than the sum of its parts—the six-piece funk band brings rollicking dance-party vibes backed by zippy horns, wink-and-a-nod lyrics, and an energizing stage performance to the Pacific Northwest and beyond. If only high school math class were this much fun.

Oscillating between playful and serious, the band riffs its way through blues, funk, and jammy notes from bygone eras, with modern, fresh lyrics that feel plucked from a math wizard's hat. Rest assured, Mr. Vale's Math Class will have you grooving to the golden mean, even if you can't find your protractor or remember how to do quadratic equations.

Led by the multi-instrumentalist and math tutor Jordan Vale on keys, trumpet, and vocals, the group includes musicians Nick Hamel on guitar, Milo Fultz on bass, James Ford on drums, David Burrows on auxiliary percussion, and Lhanna Writesal on saxophone, along with a rotating cast of dynamic guest musicians.

Mr. Vale's Math Class has rocked the house at major PNW music fests, including Juniper Jam, Shift, NW Folklife, and Goodtime Campout, and has opened for acts such as Jamie Cullum, Marchfourth, and High Step Society. They come highly recommended by The Gold Souls, and that’s all we need to know!
