ROBERT LESTER FOLSOM
Robert Lester Folsom is a Georgia-born singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music blends soft psych, Americana, and sun-faded AM gold into a sound unmistakably his own. First self-released in 1976, his cult-classic LP Music and Dreams quietly circulated in the Southeast before slipping into obscurity—until crate diggers and reissue labels revived his recordings in the 2010s. The album was re-released in 2014 by Anthology Recordings (a Mexican Summer imprint), bringing Folsom’s homegrown vision to a new generation of listeners.
Following that rediscovery, Folsom’s previously unheard material was brought to light through Ode to a Rainy Day: Archives 1972–1975 and Sunshine Only Sometimes: Archives Vol. 2—two acclaimed compilations of heartfelt demos that deepened his reputation as a lost master of homespun pop.
A wave of younger fans has discovered Folsom’s music through Instagram, TikTok, and sync placements in hit shows like Outer Banks and Gossip Girl. After only a handful of rare appearances over the years, he’s now riding that resurgence—actively touring and performing to packed rooms nationwide, including a sold-out night at The Troubadour and a celebrated set at Newport Folk Festival.
Folsom’s latest archival single, “Sitting on the Moon,” is out now as part of Mexican Summer’s latest eponymous compilation, offering yet another lost gem from this storied vault. A third full-length collection of archival material, Archives Vol. 3, is slated for release in 2026.
