Concert by Isaac Sloane & The Sound Brigade, a six-piece outfit blending psychedelic jazz and bluesy rock, at the State Fair of Texas.
Isaac Sloane & The Sound Brigade are playing the State Fair of Texas at Fair Park on Saturday, October 10, starting at 12 PM. They're a six-piece outfit from Denton, and their sound sits at the crossroads of psychedelic jazz and bluesy rock 'n' roll.
Frontman and guitarist/vocalist Isaac Sloane formed the band in October 2021, and since then they've built out a full horn section with saxophonists Michael Peterson and Donicio Trujillo. Jake Kerley is on keys, Anthony Peterson is on drums, and his brother Michael Peterson handles bass. That's a lot of musicians on one stage, and it shows in the arrangements—the two saxes give them a brassy weight that a standard rock quartet doesn't have.
Their songbook draws from a specific lineage of heavy, improvisational music: Cream, Led Zeppelin, Mountain, Chicago, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and Jimi Hendrix, all played with a modern twist. It's the kind of set that leans on the blues and psychedelic rock of the late sixties, but with the horns pulling it toward a big-band sound. The group has been recognized for it, too—they were nominated as Best Blues group at the Dallas Entertainment Awards in both 2024 and 2025.

Since they're playing as part of the State Fair of Texas, you'll find them at Fair Park in Dallas. The set kicks off at 12 PM on Saturday, October 10, so it's a midday show rather than a late-night one.
