The Leon Stax Equation

The best soul music Ireland has to offer

The Leon Stax Equation are a 6 piece Soul band based in Galway. They formed in 2023 and have been blazing a trail on the Irish music scene with a #3 album in the Irish independent charts in May 2026 and shows as far afield as the UK, mainland Europe and the USA.

The Equation is driven by funky drumming from band leader Leon Stax with a heavy downbeat, melodic basslines, scratchy rhythm guitars and familiar yet original lyrics. Their live performances are known well across the island at this stage for bringing audiences on a journey through dizzying highs that culminate in percussion breaks to smooth and laid back lows that have the whole audience singing along.

In the studio they self-produce all of their own releases, with plenty of use of tape and analog emulation to get that warm nostalgic sound. They record their tracks live in the style of the 1960s Soul and Rock classics.

They are a busy performing live band. They have toured extensively in Ireland with concerts at Electric Picnic, Fuinneamh, Elu Le Grá, Cork Jazz festival and most recently their album launch tour which included sold out shows in Galway, Cork, Sligo and Trim.

Influences for the project range from The Black Keys, James Brown, Ray Charles, Led Zeppelin and The El Michels Affair to Jim James, St Germain, Jungle, The Menehan Street Band, Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings and Khruangbin.

In view is the 3rd studio album of Galway based Irish soul group The Leon Stax Equation. Regular fans of their live shows will recognize these songs from the set.
The songs are a mixture of upbeat funk and darker heavier soul music. In its sound it has a certain amount more clarity and higher end production values than their previous albums. But, as ever drawing on their influences from the 60’s, 70’s and the modern soul revival scene, it still has that classic soul sound.
This album, as with all of their material, was self produced and mixed by band leader Leon Stax.
