Robert Lester Folsom has been writing warm, hazy folk-rock since the 1970s in Georgia, the kind of homespun, reverb-soaked songs that record collectors love to pass along. Liz Cooper, a guitarist with a psychedelic streak, opens the night. If you like gentle, heartfelt songwriting with a vintage glow, this is an easy, intimate evening in one of the Lower East Side's best-sounding rooms.

What to expect

An 18-and-over show in Bowery Ballroom's intimate main room. Expect gentle, reverb-soaked songs and a respectful listening crowd. Liz Cooper's opening set brings psychedelic guitar and warm vocals, a natural lead-in to Folsom's hazy 1970s-rooted songs.
