Outlaws of Folk

'OUTLAWS OF FOLK MUSIC SERIES''

Michael Ubaldini’s critically acclaimed Folk & Roots music series that has been going strong for 10 years. It will now be held & happy to relocate to BOGART'S COFFEE HOUSE every first Thursday of each month.

CBS Los Angeles named it “Best Folk Music show in The OC” in 2017
All ages can enjoy the show and artistic vibe. Outlaws is an ongoing folk music series that was created by the ‘rock n roll poet’ Michael Ubaldini who decided as a songwriter and supporter of musicians to start his own ‘Rebel Brand’ of an Acoustic Folk night.
He calls it 'Outlaws of Folk Music Series’. Michael hand picks some kindred spirit musicians- established recording artists, touring, local singer songwriters & performers from Los Angeles, Orange County & Long Beach to do the night with him. Each artist does a thirty minute set and sometimes a final 'Sing Out' jam at the end of the show together. It’s the real deal.
It’s the held first Thursday of each month. The music and Outlaws Series is spreading. Michael has taken it on the road before and it tours from time to time, but Bogart’s is the new Thursday homebase for the Folk Series in beautiful Seal Beach.

Please support the musicians & songwriters.
Outlaws of Folk brings back the attitude & spirit of NY Greenwich Village folk boom of the early 60s with a modern 21st century twist w/songsters relevant to this era as well as “Old traditional’ Folk.” come hang!

Music by Nick Justice

If Nick Justice’s career has found him lurking below the radar, it’s only because he’s the one that initially put the brakes on. Weaned on the Southern California sound — as represented by the Eagles, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Jackson Browne — he was lured to the Golden State in the late ‘80s and became a journeyman troubador of sorts — busking, paying his dues in various itinerate ensembles and playing for whoever would listen. Eventually he worked his way up to the status of an opening act, serving a support role to number of important outfits — X, the Blasters, the Radiators, INXS, the Del Fuegos and other ‘80s and ‘90s scene-setters.

Justice has a knack for sharing a kind of breezy balladry and while his is a generally unassuming sound, the music is still seeped in sentiment and an easy, affable embrace. Nick Justice is a great storyteller in the true fashion of the traveling Troubador. With 5 previous critically acclaimed solo records and one collaboration with The SideMen, Justice is currently finishing up his 6th solo record titled "Stranger in My Town" produced by folk legend Joel Rafael and a supporting cast of Greg Leisz on pedal steel and dobro (Jackson Browne Band), Mai Leisz on bass (David Crosby Band), and Richard Stekol on guitar (Honk, Funky Kings).

Fast forward to now--after 20 years on LA radio and 15 years as columnist for the LA Weekly--and he's become a funny, sly absurdist acoustic slinger penning anthems about loathing the DMV, sweet n sour love songs, the greatness of James Brown and all points in between.

Lunar Eclipse

Tonight we have a special astronomical treat! The moon will pass into the Earth’s shadow starting around 10:00pm and continue through 2AM. When the moon is fully in the Earth’s shadow, it often glows a lovely orange or reddish color because of the sunlight refracted by Earth’s atmosphere. This is sometimes called a “Blood "Moon” and it is beautiful no matter what you call it! Starting around 9pm Thurs., we will host a couple of groups of astronomers with their telescopes in the park across the street from Bogarts. Come by and enjoy the view!
