The Westones are a new supergroup out of Oakland with a unique blend of heavy soul, R&B and funk, featuring members who have toured with top acts as Dirtwire, Con Brio, Midtown Social, Smoked out Soul, Afrolicious and The Routine.

The band was formed in 2024 alongside their weekly residency at Degrees Plato in Oakland, where they crafted their sound and developed a local audience.

While the residency has come to an end, the Westones have since recorded their debut EP (to be released soon) at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco, and have been featured as direct support for Diggin Dirt at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma and alongside Joe Marcinek and Robert Randolph at the legendary Boom Boom Room in San Francisco. Hot on the festival circuit, they’ve performed on the main stage at Golden Road Gathering and will be seen at several others this summer including Same Same But Different and Joshua Tree Music Festival.
