Thee Sacred Souls (9:30 p.m., TD Stage, free). This Californian band is signed to Daptone Records, the Brooklyn-based label that’s home to Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings and Charles Bradley, and if you like the cool soulful sound of those two, then you’ll dig Thee Sacred Souls. Listen to their records and you’d swear they were recorded in Memphis circa 1966. As in, super cool soul vibe. (BK)
Saya Gray (10 p.m., Le Studio TD, free). Toronto nomad Saya Gray is a fearless explorer. The singer-songwriter-producer thrashes through genres, from art-pop alt-rock, future-soul and edgy electronica. Last year’s Qwerty EP and this year’s Qwerty II display the voracious creativity of a singular artist unbound by convention. One of several free indoor shows throughout the festival at Le Studio TD.
