Thee Sacred Souls and an important check before planning your trip
Thee Sacred Souls, LA LOM and The Womack Sisters had been announced for Hayden Homes Amphitheater in Bend on August 12, 2026, at 6:00 PM as part of The Constellation Tour. However, the current information is no longer fully consistent. At the time of the check on August 8, 2026, the schedules of Thee Sacred Souls and Daptone Records for August 12 list Hard Rock Live in Wheatland, California, with a 7:00 PM start. The venue's calendar also lists The Constellation Tour on the same day.
At the same time, an event page still exists online placing Thee Sacred Souls, LA LOM and The Womack Sisters at Hayden Homes Amphitheater in Bend at 6:00 PM, while the current event listing of Hayden Homes Amphitheater itself does not show that concert. This means that for anyone planning a trip, the most important first step is to check the city and venue on their own ticket and in the artist's latest schedule.
This is not a minor difference in timing. Bend in Oregon and Wheatland in California are two different destinations, so an older announcement should not be relied upon when booking transportation or accommodation. If your plans are tied to the August 12 concert, it is worth securing tickets in time only after checking that they show the current city and venue.
Why The Constellation Tour is interesting for soul fans
Regardless of the change or discrepancy in location, the musical concept of this tour is very clearly defined. Thee Sacred Souls headline the evening, joined by LA LOM and The Womack Sisters. The combination is conceived as a meeting of several different faces of contemporary music from the U.S. West Coast, with strong foundations in older soul, R&B, cumbia, bolero and analog sound.
Thee Sacred Souls come from San Diego, and the core of the group consists of Josh Lane on vocals, Alejandro Garcia on drums and guitar, and Salvador Samano on bass and drums. Their music deliberately draws on the warmth of soul and R&B production from the 1960s and 1970s, but it is not merely an attempt to reproduce the past. The songs are recorded and arranged to sound organic, with Josh Lane's soft tenor, prominent bass lines, restrained drums and vocal harmonies.
Their breakthrough was accelerated by the self-titled album "Thee Sacred Souls" from 2022. Among the songs that have become recognizable to audiences are "Can I Call You Rose?", "Weak for Your Love", "Will I See You Again?", "Easier Said Than Done" and "Love Is the Way". That catalog explains why the group attracts both audiences who follow new soul and listeners who grew up with classic recordings of Motown, sweet soul, rocksteady and related styles.
The album that expanded their sound
The second album "Got A Story To Tell" was released in 2024 and contains 12 original songs. Compared with the debut, it brought a broader emotional and arranging palette. The band began writing the material after an intensive period of touring, and the experience of life on the road became an important part of the album's creation process.
"Lucid Girl" opens the album with a firmer rhythm and one of its more striking bass parts. "My Heart Is Drowning" connects a slower rocksteady feel with vocal harmonies reminiscent of American girl-group pop from the 1960s. "On My Mind" shows another part of their musical language, with melodic influences that Josh Lane associated with Brazilian composer Arthur Verocai.
The album was recorded at Penrose Recorders in Riverside, California, a studio associated with Gabriel Roth, co-founder of Daptone Records. This analog approach is precisely what is important for understanding Thee Sacred Souls: the songs are not built around major electronic production interventions, but around rhythm, vocals, harmonies and the space between instruments.
The band continued expanding its catalog in 2026. In April, the previously unreleased song "Any Old Fool" was released, featuring a pronounced bass line, firm drums and a more dance-oriented character. At the end of July, versions of "Waiting for the Right Time" and "One and the Same" also appeared, reworked by Victor Axelrod with The Inversions in reggae and dub directions. This shows that the group's current phase is not merely a continuation of the 2024 album, but a period in which existing material is receiving new rhythmic interpretations.
- The first album "Thee Sacred Souls" was released in 2022.
- "Got A Story To Tell" from 2024 contains 12 original songs.
- "Any Old Fool" was released as a standalone release in April 2026.
- In July 2026, reggae and dub reworkings of material from the second album were released in collaboration with Victor Axelrod.

What previous performances say about the repertoire
For this particular concert, it would not be reasonable to promise an exact setlist in advance. It has not been confirmed, and the band changes the selection and order of songs across different performances. Nevertheless, recorded concerts from 2026 provide a useful picture of the catalog the group is currently performing live.
At performances during May, songs such as "Lucid Girl", "Love Comes Easy", "Will I See You Again?", "Weak for Your Love", "Easier Said Than Done", "For Now", "Future Lover", "Can I Call You Rose?", "Let Me Feel Your Charm", "Lady Love" and "My Heart Is Drowning" appeared. The new single "Any Old Fool" also entered the repertoire.
This does not mean that these exact songs will be performed on every date of The Constellation Tour. It is more useful to view them as a cross-section of material that has remained active in the concert program. For audiences who discovered the band through its early singles, the good news is that songs from the first album continue to appear alongside material from "Got A Story To Tell".
Their live approach is particularly well suited to audiences who value a band's dynamics more than large stage effects. The focus is on vocals, groove and the relationship between the bass line and drums. Slow songs leave enough space for Lane's voice to remain in the foreground, while faster compositions allow that gentler soul sound to turn into a more danceable concert experience.
LA LOM and The Womack Sisters broaden the evening's musical picture
LA LOM, or The Los Angeles League of Musicians, brings an instrumental sound that connects different Los Angeles traditions. Their music brings together Mexican bolero, cumbia sonidera and rockabilly influences. That makes them a logical partner for Thee Sacred Souls: both groups draw on older musical languages, but do not treat them as museum exhibits.
The Womack Sisters are BG, Zeimani and Kucha Womack, a soul and R&B trio from Los Angeles. Their vocal harmonies add a third character to a program already built around melody and rhythm. For that reason, The Constellation Tour is not a typical evening in which several unrelated opening acts simply precede the headliner. The three names share enough musical points of connection for the program to have a clear continuity.
For the audience, this also means a broader range of rhythms than might be expected from the term soul concert alone. Fans of Thee Sacred Souls will get their romantic and melodic R&B, while LA LOM brings a more pronounced instrumental and Latin American rhythmic element, and The Womack Sisters place the emphasis on vocal harmonies.
What Hayden Homes Amphitheater is like as a concert venue
If you have a ticket that still lists Bend and you receive confirmation before your trip that it is indeed valid there, Hayden Homes Amphitheater is located in the Old Mill District, beside the Deschutes River. It is the largest outdoor concert venue in Oregon, with a capacity of up to 8,000 visitors.
The amphitheater was built in 2001 and had its first season in 2002. It was renovated in 2021 to improve accessibility and accommodate a broader range of concert productions. The venue is open-air, with a natural grassy slope, so the experience differs from that of an indoor arena or theater. Most concerts have a General Admission area on the lawn, while numbered seats closer to the stage are installed for some programs.
This is a format that could suit the music of Thee Sacred Souls well. Their repertoire does not necessarily require massive stadium production, and the open layout allows audiences to choose between sitting on the grassy slope and moving closer to the stage where the configuration of a particular concert permits it. However, the specific configuration always depends on the event, so it should not be assumed solely on the basis of other concerts at the same venue.
Practical facts for Hayden Homes Amphitheater
- The address is 344 SW Shevlin Hixon Dr, Bend, Oregon 97702.
- The venue has a capacity of up to 8,000 visitors.
- Most events include a General Admission lawn area, while some concerts also have reserved seating.
- Personal chairs are not permitted. Chair rental is available at some events.
- Clear bags with one compartment up to 12 x 6 x 12 inches or small non-transparent bags up to 6 x 9 inches are permitted.
- Outside food and drinks are not permitted.
- Re-entry is not permitted after leaving the venue.

Visitors arriving by car can follow Event Parking signs in the Old Mill District. Free parking is available at the Mt. Bachelor bus parking lot, approximately two blocks from the amphitheater. Paid parking lots open one hour before the doors open.
For cyclists, there are more than 300 bike racks around the location. Cascades East Transit Route 2 also serves the Old Mill District, and designated pick-up and drop-off locations are provided for passengers using on-demand transportation. For people who require accessible infrastructure, ADA parking spaces and a drop-off zone are available along Shevlin-Hixon Drive.
Bend is connected by road to the main US 97 highway. Travelers arriving by air most commonly use Redmond Municipal Airport, approximately a 20-minute drive from central Bend according to venue information. For an outdoor concert, it is also useful to check weather conditions and the current rules regarding items allowed into the venue before departure.
Who will find this program especially interesting
Thee Sacred Souls have enough recognizable songs that they are no longer an act intended only for a narrow circle of soul collectors. "Can I Call You Rose?", "Weak for Your Love" and "Will I See You Again?" opened the way to a broader audience, while the second album shows that they do not rely solely on a few early singles.
The concert will therefore appeal most strongly to several groups of listeners. Long-time fans can follow how the earlier, more intimate material fits alongside songs from the second album and releases from 2026. Fans of classic soul can recognize the influence of older production and vocal traditions without the band simply copying one particular era. Audiences more attracted to cumbia and instrumental music have an additional reason to attend because of LA LOM, while The Womack Sisters broaden the evening toward vocal R&B.
The Constellation Tour therefore makes sense as a full-evening program, rather than simply a performance by one band with several opening acts. It is worth securing tickets in time, but for the August 12 date, before making any decision, it is essential to check the location listed in the current schedule and on your own ticket.
The most important things before departure
For a traveler who originally planned to go to Bend, the main question at the moment is not what to bring to the concert, but where the concert will take place. The original announcement of The Constellation Tour included Bend and Hayden Homes Amphitheater, and information showing that date still exists online. However, the current schedule of Thee Sacred Souls and Daptone Records lists Wheatland, while Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sacramento has the same program on its calendar for August 12.
For that reason, Bend should currently be treated as a location with conflicting information, rather than as a fact on which travel arrangements should be based. If you already have a ticket, check the city, venue name and time on the ticket itself and compare them with the artist's latest schedule. If you are only planning to purchase a ticket, first check which location the ticket is being issued for.
The musical part of the story is much clearer. The Constellation Tour brings together Thee Sacred Souls, LA LOM and The Womack Sisters in a program combining contemporary sweet soul, R&B, cumbia, bolero and strong vocal harmonies. Thee Sacred Souls come to the tour with two albums, a series of earlier singles and fresh releases from 2026, so their current concert catalog spans several stages of their career.
Ticket sales for The Constellation Tour are underway. For this particular date, the most important thing is to check the city and venue once again before purchasing or traveling, because the current sources do not provide consistent information about Bend.
