09.07.2026 – Durand Jones & The Indications Bring Modern Soul to Saint Louis Music Park
Durand Jones & The Indications offer one of the richest soul selections on the St. Louis fall concert calendar when they appear at Saint Louis Music Park on September 16 with Charley Crockett.
The group has earned attention by drawing from the language of classic soul without simply recreating the past. Warm vocal harmonies, deep grooves, falsetto, funk and carefully arranged instrumentation can evoke earlier eras of R&B, but the band’s songs and production belong to the present.
That distinction matters. Retro-soul can easily become an exercise in imitation, yet The Indications have built a catalog that uses older musical vocabulary as a foundation rather than a costume. Their work connects the emotional directness of vintage soul to contemporary independent music audiences.
The outdoor Saint Louis Music Park setting should give the performance a different character from the club shows dominating much of this preview. The pairing with Crockett also creates an unusually broad night of American roots music, bringing soul, blues, country and R&B traditions into the same program.
For listeners interested in the continuum connecting classic Black music to modern independent soul, Durand Jones & The Indications may be one of the season’s most rewarding acts. The September 16 program is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.; fans should confirm current ticket and event details before attending.
