Bands like Lawrence have brought the tenets of soul and R&B to pop-loving audiences, and Soulpax does a little of that work, too.

With more of an edge than more sanitized funk and R&B revivers, the Miami outfit features the forceful vocal of songwriter Julia Camayd backed by a band that can go from the lounge (“Moonbeams”) to the dance floor (“Postcard Daze”) in a heartbeat.

Tampa indie-rock band Blonde Gentlemen opens the show along with Jacksonville rock outfit Teal Peel which is on the road supporting a must-listen December 2023 album, Country River, which will please fans of Hovvdy (“How Many Bugs,” “Fruit Flies”), too.

Tickets to see Soulpax play Hooch and Hive in Tampa on Friday, Feb. 9 are still available for $10.
