The Sure Fire Soul Ensemble is a 9 piece heavy mostly instrumental funk band from San Diego CA. Their influences are vast and include Hip Hop groups like Wu-Tang Clan and De La Soul as well as funk and soul masters like Isaac Hayes The Meters and James Brown. Their last two LPs debuted in the top 15 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Chart. SFSE is equally at home in the studio as they are on the stage where their original songs transform and take on new life through live performance. They have shared the stage with Kamasi Washington Quantic Lee Fields Monophonics Jungle Fire and most recently served as backing band for Hip Hop legend Big Daddy Kane. The Sure Fire Soul Ensemble are definitely still on a roll coming off of their fourth studio LP for Colemine Records Step Down which debuted at #14 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Chart. They released a live album in 2023 on All-Town Sound. The Sure Fire Soul Ensemble’s 5th studio album Gemini will be out March 28 2025 via Colemine Records.
