About Monophonics

Monophonics are a San Francisco Bay Area band from the North Bay/San Rafael scene, active since the mid-2000s with a debut album arriving in 2007. Their identity took shape around warm, vintage-sounding psychedelic soul: gritty R&B horns, heavy funk rhythms, reverb-laced rock textures, vintage keyboards, and analog production. Frontman Kelly Finnigan leads the band on vocals and keyboards/organ, joined by longtime guitarist Ian McDonald, bassist Myles O'Mahony, drummer Austin Bohlman, and trumpeter/horn player Ryan Scott.

Over roughly two decades, Monophonics have become a leading act in the modern retro-soul and psychedelic-soul revival. Albums such as In Your Brain, Sound of Sinning, It's Only Us, and Sage Motel helped cement their reputation among soul, funk, and vintage-R&B fans. Their sound is often described as the feel of a lost early-'70s soul classic reimagined with modern ambition, anchored by Finnigan's impassioned vocals and the band's punchy live horn section.

The band's current era has kept them active on the road, including continued touring in support of Sage Motel and a co-headlining tour with R&B vocalist Lee Fields that launched at The Fillmore in San Francisco. Their following remains especially strong in the Bay Area and across the retro-soul circuit, where Monophonics tickets continue to draw fans looking for a band-focused, high-energy live soul experience.

Why You Want to See Monophonics Live

A Monophonics live show is built on musicianship, feel, and dynamics. Their concerts put the focus on live horns, vintage instrumentation, organ-driven soul textures, fuzz guitar, and a rhythm section that can stretch songs into deep grooves without losing the emotional center. Kelly Finnigan's dynamic frontman presence and crowd interaction give the performance a classic soul-revue energy, while his gospel-tinged vocals bring weight to the band's most dramatic moments.

The songs are a major part of the draw. Fan favorites such as "Say You Love Me," "Bang Bang," "Chances," "Suffering," "Promises," and "It's Only Us" are made for rooms where the crowd can move, sing along, and lock into the groove. Monophonics sets often build through high-energy soul, extended instrumental moments, and powerful horn breaks that make the music feel communal rather than contained.

The audience adds to the atmosphere. Their crowds bring together soul, funk, and vintage-R&B enthusiasts across multiple generations, creating a dance- and singalong-friendly environment. For fans of psychedelic soul, a Monophonics concert delivers the warm, raw, sound-driven experience that has made them one of the standout live bands in the modern soul revival.

What to Expect at a Monophonics Concert

A Monophonics concert typically runs approximately 75 minutes to two hours for a headline set. They usually perform with a support act and also appear on co-headlining tours, including pairings such as their tour with Lee Fields. That format gives the night the feel of a full soul event, with the main set centered on the band's deep catalog and live-band chemistry.

The setlist usually draws from across the Monophonics catalog, with emphasis on recent albums and fan-favorite soul anthems. Songs from It's Only Us and Sage Motel sit naturally alongside earlier standouts, and the pacing often moves through dynamic builds, high-energy grooves, and extended instrumental passages.

The crowd is engaged, responsive, and ready to move. In clubs, theaters, and mid-size music halls, the band's warm stage sound and horn-driven arrangements translate well without needing heavy spectacle. The production is band-focused and sound-driven, centered on live performance rather than large-scale visual effects.

Expect the room to feel intimate even when the venue is full. Monophonics' strongest live elements — Finnigan's vocals and crowd connection, the horn section, the vintage keyboards, and the raw energy of the rhythm section — are all built for the kind of close, music-first spaces they regularly play.

How Much Do Tickets to Monophonics Cost?

Monophonics tickets typically range from around $30 to $60 for general admission and standard tickets, with premium or VIP options available at higher price points where offered depending on the venue and market.

Prices can move based on market and venue size, co-headliner billing, weekend versus weeknight dates, and local fanbase strength. Bay Area shows, marquee hometown dates, and co-headlining appearances with established R&B artists can draw especially strong demand in theater-level markets.

Buying earlier generally offers better selection and pricing, especially for marquee hometown shows. As the date approaches and inventory gets tighter, the best remaining options can become more competitive, particularly for high-demand sections and strong-market tour stops.

Monophonics Seating Guide

Monophonics typically play clubs, theaters, and mid-size music halls, where the room's shape can make a big difference in how you experience the show. Because their concerts are band-focused and sound-driven, it is worth thinking through proximity, sightline, and overall room energy before buying.

Best Seats for a Monophonics Concert

The right seat depends on what kind of show experience you're after:

Best value: General admission and standard tickets — these often give fans an accessible way into the room while still keeping them close to the communal energy that defines a Monophonics show.
Closest to the stage: Front-of-room or floor positions — maximum proximity to Kelly Finnigan, the horn section, and the full-band performance; these spots can move fastest in strong markets.
Best overall experience: Central reserved or main-room sections — the balance of sightline, sound, proximity, and crowd energy most fans favor in theaters and music halls.
For groups: Coordinating tickets early is the best move, since blocks of seats or adjacent general admission listings in popular sections can disappear quickly.

You can view an interactive seating map for Monophonics shows directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your angle to the stage, your distance from the front, and whether you're in a general admission area or a reserved section — so the tickets you choose match exactly what you're looking for on show night.

Getting Ready for Show Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation makes the whole evening run smoother — from the parking lot to the final encore.

Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service around clubs, theaters, and mid-size music halls gets congested as show time approaches. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before heading out so you're not searching at the gate.
Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard at most venues, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening out.
Arrive before the opener. Openers often start close to the listed show time, and gate lines build quickly — getting there 45–60 minutes early puts you in your seat before the energy builds.
Check the venue's bag policy before you go. Individual venues set their own security guidelines; reviewing them before you leave home prevents delays at the entrance.
