'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!

The Odd Birds are two of the least cool rock stars you'll ever meet (no really, they met doing musical theatre). They have been playing their blend of Americana/country/folk music for over a decade. They've toured and had radio play in both the US and Europe. Known for their vocal harmonies, they were named one of Metronome Boston's Top 21 bands in 2021.
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 story teller 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 inMy 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).

Paul Inman's Delivery is comprised of singer-songwriter-guitarist/keyboard player/harmonica player and renegade avid poet/artist Paul Inman and a rotating cast of supporting musical compatriots. Raised near Detroit Michigan, Inman digested much from that locale's sonic landscape before emigrating to Los Angeles where he absorbed the Americana/folk stylings of California's most compelling artists (The Band, Tom Waits, The Heartbreakers, The Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Blood on The Tracks/Desire era Dylan, Van Morrison's Hard Nose the Highway), blending them into a compelling Gothic-tinged folk/pop/rock delivery. Touring both as a trio and as a solo acoustic guitar and piano act, Paul Inman's Delivery have released 4 full-length CD's of deftly performed gothic-tinged Americana infused with folk and pop. Their latest, Songs Of The Broken Earth, further expands their sonic palette to incorporate blues and electronic stylings, while remaining embedded in the Americana and roots rock genre. They tour intermittently both in the U.S. and in Europe while continuing to record new material. They have shared stages with the likes of Marc Olsen and Victoria Williams (Creek Dippers), Gram Rabbit, Lucinda Williams, and The Jayhawks. They are looking to release a new CD later this year...

Feter Martin Homer cut his teeth as a blues guitarist playing in bands throughout the United States, first in Michigan and, currently in California, with all points in between. Press and audiences in all of those locations have lauded his chops as powerful and passionate. But he has released his very first solo album, revealing a tender soul with a love of American folk music idioms.
His first self-titled solo CD reveals a strong vocal presence to accompany his guitar chops, stripped down to acoustic tones on this album. Some of the tunes (East Virginia Blues, This Storm Shall Pass Away) draw on traditional blues and folk sensibility to create tracks that give homage to those traditions. Other songs like Arise and Loveshow Feter’s tender side, a vocal approach that is reminiscent of Nick Drake. Meanwhile, Virginiaand the instrumental Morning Fairy are examples of Feter’s guitar abilities.
Feter’s move to Southern California has opened up new avenues for performances and connections and he has taken advantage, settling in to a regular performing schedule. Get your copy of Feter Martin Homerand then go see him live. You will be glad you did both.
Johnny Angel Wendell is the living breathing definition of a "lifer" musician having begun his career 46 years ago in Boston playing loud raucous punk rock. 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.
Come by to hear a selection of original numbers and some covers performed by the students of our own Los Alamitos HS Vocal Production Class!
Bobbo Byrnes is a storytelling singer/songwriter, a throwback to a bygone era of mix tapes and AM Gold. Bobbo read too much Kerouac as a youth and though he no longer hitchhikes he is still a vagabond at heart seeking to continue on his path - singing and strumming, learning and sharing stories, and connecting with people.

“The world needs more interesting live music. I got my start in Tucson, and had lots of help over the years from more established Tucson musicians. If I can help another musician, including by giving them a job, I’m going to do it. Maybe it’s a way of trying to give back to my home town.” -HT
Hank’s long-running country / roots variety show, Losers’ Lounge (est. 2014), continues to shine light in dark corners by featuring some of the most effective local, regional, and touring underground musicians.
Inspired by classic variety programs such as the Ernest Tubb and Porter Wagoner TV shows, Hank adds depth (while pushing the envelope) to each episode by featuring guest stars who may be anything but “country.” Typically on second Wednesdays, at Owls Club in Tucson.

A unique component to The Jazz Angels methodology is to engage professional musicians as mentors who play alongside the participants, providing inspiration and instilling pride and discipline.
