Robert Lester Folsom isn’t exactly a household name in music. When he self-released his hazy, psychedelic-influenced folk-rock album Music and Dreams in 1976, the release made its rounds in the Southeast without gaining much traction. But in 2014, Anthology Recordings re-released the record, which caused a surge in popularity thanks to songs like “My Stove’s on Fire” and “April Suzanne.” Additional unreleased music by Folsom soon came to light, and he’s garnered a decent following since. In recent years, his songs have been featured in shows like Outer Banks and the 2021 revival of Gossip Girl. Now 70-year-old Folsom is embarking on a tour that’s been nearly 50 years in the making. The singer-songwriter is headed to small, intimate venues across the U.S. to play his soft rock and psych-tinted classics. He’ll soon be at Skinny Dennis in East Nashville for a Dec. 8 show. Burlington, Vt.-based folk-rocker Lily Seabird will open.
8 p.m. at Skinny Dennis
