Object Heavy is Humboldt County’s hardest-hitting soul sensation, delivering a potent blend of vintage soul, funk, and deep-pocket groove. Fresh off their latest album Love & Gravity (produced by Kelly Finnigan of Monophonics), the band brings dynamic songwriting and explosive stage presence that have earned them national recognition—and five wins as “Best Original Band” in Humboldt County.
At the core is powerhouse frontman Richard Love, whose rich, nuanced vocals channel the spirit of soul’s golden age. Brian Swislow brings fire and finesse on keys, while Leo Plummer delivers masterful guitar work steeped in groove and grit. On bass, Ian Taylor holds it all down with thick, steady rhythms, often joined by Dan Weiss on drums for an airtight backbeat that moves the room.
With a touring resume that includes stages alongside Orgone, The Motet, Galactic, Rebirth Brass Band, and Chali 2na, Object Heavy’s sound is both timeless and fresh—blending Cadillac soul, vocal harmony, and unstoppable dance energy into a magnetic live experience. If you're into soul, funk, or anything with a deep groove, this is one band you don’t want to miss.
