The Outlaws Of Folk music series’ is an on going folk music night that singer songwriter Michael Ubaldini started as an answer and alternative to a lot of the more standard clique ‘clipboard’ showcase/songwriter nights & ‘sell your own ticket shows’. He christened it: ‘The Outlaws of Folk Music Series’ .The series was named by CBS Los Angeles as a ‘Best Folk Music Show’ .
“I started it so me and friends and musicians would have someplace to play hang out, have a positive relaxed atmosphere and not have to kiss up to promoters and we could be creative and play our own songs & stuff you don’t hear all the time.”-says Michael. – The series has now expanded to four locations and now is featured every last Wednesday monthly at ‘Sabor y Cultura Coffee House’ in East Hollywood – It continues having monthly nights in Seal beach -Newport Beach -Long Beach and been running 10 years and organically has taken off-keeping with its
‘Street’ & ‘anti-mainstream vibe.’ The fans and misfits who come and support the night are just as important as the performers & creates a sense of community.
Michael hand picks ‘kindred spirit’ musicians- established recording artists, touring,local singer songwriters & up and comers to do the night with him .
Everyone does their own thirty minute set each – sometimes a final ‘Sing Out’ jam at the end of the show together.
‘Outlaws’ brings the attitude & spirit of NY Greenwich Village early folk boom but with a modern 21st century creativity & sensibility relevant to today. The shows are all age and great for everyone young and old.
Come hang out with us & get your folk on!
