North Coast Songwriters’ Circle

Open to the public

Circle around the campfire for a night of outstanding folk music by North Coast local musicians—Frankie and the Lost Souls, Frank Lucky, Latchkey, & friends.

Frankie and the Lost Souls is an indie folk-rock band founded by wife and husband duo Erica and Sebastian in 2009 as Frankie and the Bass, a basement suite hobby that grew organically from their mutual lifelong love of live performance. The band has evolved from performing classic Canadiana campfire covers at open mics and busking on street corners to a creative tour-de-force bringing to life Erica’s folk and country-inspired originals. The addition of Lynkse on lead guitar has elevated the group’s sound with melodic riffs that hint at a nostalgia for a 90s and early 00s pop-rock soundscape that enrich narrative-driven lyrics exploring heartbreak and love, mental health, conflict, and the overall unresolved nature of the human condition.

Latchkey mixes elements from countrified soul, 70s AM radio, and four-part vocal harmony, and puts the results through a punk rock filter, presenting an invigorating twist on the Northern California festival vibe with a sound that’s been described as “a country Velvet Underground’s 3rd album.” Their debut recording, Backyard, showcases the dreamy, acoustic side of the group.
