Don’t miss Souled American on Saturday, May 16th at Folk Music Center! Call 909-624-2928 for tickets.

It’s so tempting to write “Souled American is back!” But that’s not only cheesy, it’s also not what’s happening; yes, the celebrated Chicago band credited as progenitors of both “alt country” and “slow core” just released its first new album in 30 years and have embarked on an eq...

⚠️ Low ticket warning for The Disassociation’s first ever live show this Saturday, April 25th at Folk Music Center in Claremont, California! Call (909) 624-2928 to reserve your seats. This will sell out!

"From the mysterious expanses of southern California’s Inland Empire emerges … The Disassociation! This new group is a powerful joining of forces, an impressive melding of minds, bringing together long-running lo-fi indie pioneers Refrigerator (a band that today continues to be underrated, even by the cognoscenti), Amy Maloof of Falcon Eddy, artist/musician/DJ Sam Sousa and the brilliant author Jonathan Lethem. These disparate talents make a wry, shambolic romp." -Aquarium Drunkard

Check out the new video premiere of "Take It All Away" from The Disassociation, who will be performing live at Folk Music Center on Saturday, April 25th at 7pm.

The legendary Souled American have announced their first tour in 35 years and we’ve secured a show for them in Southern California at Folk Music Center on Saturday, May 16th at 7:30pm (doors at 7pm).

This is an intimate evening and the event will sell out. Tickets are only available directly from Folk Music Center over the phone at 909-624-2928. The band is issuing their first new record in decades, Sanctions, and it is a hell of a return. Nice to see them back in action and coming to Claremont for the first time ever!
