Loud As Folk is a hub of the west coast songwriting scene focused on highlighting emerging artists with distinct approaches to all genres of American roots music. In the process of bringing these acts together for performances, a beautiful community naturally formed with artists and audience members alike. Now LAF is a global network of songwriters who collaborate, tour, and record in ever changing combinations. The organization is based in Reno, NV and operated by founder Spike McGuire and VP Greg Gilmore. Their dedication remains to preserving the craft of songwriting, whether it's through your stereo or from the stage. The monthly live showcase can be found every first Thursday at The Nevada Museum Of Art in Reno, NV and every second Thursday at The Lost Church in Santa Rosa, CA. On the 15th of each month a different artist is featured through Loud As Folk Record Club with the limited release of a new exclusive studio session produced by McGuire & Gilmore. Members of the club have access to unlimited streaming/downloading of the LAF archive and can opt for monthly deliveries on CD, cassette, and lathe cut clear 12" vinyl.
