Folk shows in Los Angeles

Forget everything you thought you knew about psychedelic folk, because Altin Gün is about to flip the script on your North American tour expectations. Hailing from the vibrant musical melting pot of Amsterdam, this Turkish-Dutch ensemble has been conjuring a sound that's part vintage Anatolian rock, part cosmic disco fever dream. Their electrifying live shows are legendary for turning even the most stoic hipster into a kaleidoscope of dance moves they didn't know they had. With the iconic KCRW backing this tour, it's the ultimate stamp of indie approval. So, dust off your fringed jackets and get ready to vibe with a crowd that understands the magic of a well-placed tambourine. Miss this, and you're missing the cultural crossroads of the future.

In an era where authenticity often feels like a relic of the past, Ryman Leon emerges as a beacon of raw, unfiltered emotion—a modern-day troubadour for the introspective and disenchanted. Catch him live at The Moroccan Lounge, a venue whose very walls hum with the ghosts of legendary indie sets. Ryman Leon’s sound is a tapestry woven from threads of hazy shoegaze, soul-soaked vocals, and a touch of avant-garde synthpop that leaves you questioning everything you thought you knew about genre boundaries. On September 25th, let yourself be swept away by his sonic storytelling, where each chord feels like a secret whispered in your ear. And don’t sleep on Samuel Nicholson, whose opening set promises to be an introspective journey through the undercurrents of life’s quieter moments. With tickets at just $18 in advance, this is a night that promises to make your Spotify playlist feel like yesterday’s news. All ages welcome—so bring your little brother or your hip grandma, and prepare to feel alive again.
