Ado Soul & the Tribe are a New Orleans soul band whose sound has earned them the tag "the South's Most Soulful Sound" -- a blend of traditional New Orleans rhythm, funk, R&B, and Afrofuturist soul anchored by roaring brass and deep pocket grooves. The group is fronted by Ado Soul, whose gravelly vocal growl traces back to a childhood spent performing gospel alongside his father, a pastor and singer, across Louisiana. He honed his craft at Xavier University of Louisiana and has built a reputation as a performer who leaves nothing on the table. Essence Magazine named him one of their "New & Next Artists" in 2023, and the band performed at the 2025 BET Awards Red Carpet Pre-Show.

James Jordan is a New Orleans vocalist whose sound moves across R&B, funk, blues, and swing, a range that reflects the breadth of the city's musical tradition. A rising presence in the local music scene, he is a recipient of the Sarah I. Nadler Memorial Award in Music. His band, James Jordan and the Situation, released their first album of original material, Reflections, earlier this year, and in May 2026, made their debut performance in the WWOZ Jazz Tent at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Tonight, Jordan leads a special sextet configuration featuring Robbie Wallace, a performance that reflects Good Measure's commitment to presenting established artists in configurations you won't find anywhere else in the city.

Oakland-born Ten Spencer is a vocalist and bandleader whose music pulls from soul, R&B, funk, and jazz. She built her career in the Bay Area before relocating to New Orleans, a city whose musical spirit she has made her own. She fronts Gov't Majik and has performed with Adonis Rose and the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra. Her delivery is warm and assured, and her writing draws from the same well: love, loss, and the feeling of a place that gets under your skin. In 2025, she performed at the Ascona Jazz Festival in Switzerland, one of Europe's longest-running festivals dedicated to New Orleans music.
