May 3, 2025 - Solabel

As soon as the last notes faded away the first time Solabel performed at Theater 5150, we’ve wanted to get them back for more, and we’re lucky to do just that May 3rd! Solabel is a collective of some of area’s the top jazz, folk, bluegrass and gospel musicians, including members of local heroes Dear Darling, and we are excited to hear what they have in store for us this go around. They’ve released two full-length albums, Solabel and City of Trees, and are working on their third. They describe their music as “folk meets rock, with jazz, spiritual and masterful improvisation bundled into one.” I would add to that “Goose-bump inducing vocals and formidable instrumental chops.” Individually, these are some of the best musicians we’ve ever heard. Together, they are truly something special. 

Doors open at 7 pm and the music starts at 8. 100% of proceeds from ticket sales go to the performers. We'll have some complimentary food and drinks while they last and we always love it when guests bring food and drinks for all to share. We ask that you get here with plenty of time to spare so you have time to get something to eat and drink and we won't have to seat anyone during the set. We can't wait! Tickets are $35 per person and you can get them right here. See you then! 

After WAY too long, we’re happy to announce the return of The Gold Souls to Theater 5150! This is one of our favorite bands out there. Every time they perform, they put on display exceptional technical virtuosity and lyrical intelligence to go with their irresistible combination of driving funk, soul textures, and blues storytelling. Led by the stunning and dynamic Juniper Waller, the Gold Souls boast the area’s only all-female horn section and present a compelling wall of sound that’s not to be missed!

We have a treat for everyone September 12th , because that’s when Hannah Jane Kile and her band join us at Theater 5150! She’s formerly one-third of the highly acclaimed Dear Darling and currently one of the creative forces behind Solabel,  but that’s only part of the story. Hannah is an accomplished singer-songwriter who possesses enviable guitar chops (she’s been described as “a player who sings, rather than a singer who plays”) and a classically trained soprano that’s one of the most beautiful we’ve ever heard - really! Her songwriting blurs genres, as her influences range from Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, to Bonnie Raitt and Adele. Her musical attitude moves from confessional to sassy and back, sometimes in the same song. She’s opened for Patty Griffin, Ingrid Michaelson, Carolyn Wonderland and many others. This is one you do not want to miss!

An eight piece soul and funk explosion out of Sacramento that could be described as Jamiroquai meets Fitz and the Tantrums (or even the J. Geils Band - that’s how hard they work onstage), Joy & Madness has been rocking stages all over the West Coast since inception. Joy & Madness brings a modern classic pop sensibility to a new age of joyous funk and soul, reaching audiences in a way that few live performers can. “They play music like music is meant to be played — with heart and devotion, thrusting every last particle of themselves into the moment and sound and mood they create.” (Susan Raines – The Examiner). They’ve shared the stage with artists as diverse as Tower of Power, Trombone Shorty, Ozomatli and Collective Soul. As true believers in music as a shared experience that can simultaneously allow escape and connection, Joy and Madness brings a live performance that leaves everybody inspired, sweaty, and full of joy.

Having long admired the T Sisters and their music, I’ve tried to get them to Theater 5150 for more than three years and, on Friday, December 5th, we’re finally making it happen! Distinguished by close harmonies, catchy melodies and potent lyricism, the T Sisters have created their own refreshing brew of eclectic folk music. Siblings Erika, Rachel and Chloe Tietjen flow seamlessly between styles and moods, from roots to pop and sassy to sincere, captivating listeners with their lush sound and soaring harmonies. They have three excellent full-length albums of almost entirely original material to their names and their latest EP, “Sheroes,” is a wonderful, heartfelt tribute to some of the legendary female performers who have left an indelible mark on the music industry. December 5th cannot come soon enough!
