Come join us in San Francisco this Friday at 8pm as we help raise awareness for the ban of fracking in our waters. The concert will be held at Inner Mission (formally CELL Space) located at 2050 Bryant St.
Fracking is short for hydraulic fracturing. It’s an extremely water-intensive process where millions of gallons of fluid – typically a mix of water, sand, and chemicals, including ones known to cause cancer – are injected underground at high pressure to fracture the rock surrounding an oil or gas well. This fracking releases extra oil and/or gas from the rock, so it can flow into the well.
But the process of fracking introduces additional industrial activity into communities beyond the well. Clearing land to build new access roads and new well sites, drilling and encasing the well, fracking the well and generating the waste, trucking in heavy equipment and materials and trucking out the vast amounts of toxic waste — all of these steps contribute to air and water pollution risks and devaluation of land that is turning our communities into sacrifice zones. Fracking threatens the air we breathe, the water we drink, the communities we love and the climate on which we all depend. That’s why over 250 communities in the U.S. have passed resolutions to stop fracking, and why Vermont, France and Bulgaria have stopped it.
We’ll be joined by our good buddies, Whiskerman, and Shake Your Peace! You can purchase your tickets now by clicking here.
Hope to see you all there!
love,
SPS

Hello, hello!
We will be playing a residency at the Standard Hotel in Hollywood as part of Desert Nights with KCRW DJ Valida. You can see us every Wednesday in November live and unplugged in the Cactus Lounge. The shows starts at 7:30 and there’s no cover!
About Desert Nights…
“Desert Nights is a weekly aural oasis at The Standard, Hollywood. Each Wednesday, KCRW’s DJ Valida curates 3 musical acts to perform a special acoustic set in the hotel’s Cactus Lounge. The vibe is warm and intimate, evoking an impromptu jam in a musician’s living room. Live music begins at 7:30pm with Valida spinning KCRW favorites in-between sets.”

We’re very excited about our upcoming show this Thursday night at 7PM at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, CA opening for John Sebastian from the Lovin’ Spoonful! John is a legend and we’re stoked to be sharing the stage with him. The dude was at Woodstock! He will be playing a set with Jimmy Vivino, leader of the band on the Conan O’Brien Show. Can’t wait!
Be sure to purchase your tickets HERE for a discounted price, and your ticket will be waiting for you at Will Call before the show.
Can’t wait to see ya there!

The big cd release show is almost here…we are playing this Friday, September 14th at Hotel Cafe in Hollywood. Just as a reminder, you can still buy your pre-sale tickets online for the bargain price of $8 by clicking here. We’ll be going on at 10pm and selling our new album, Ready Room, immediately after the show. You can also pre-order your cd or vinyl online and have it waiting for you when you get there!

We are exactly 2 weeks away from the official release of our new album, Ready Room, and starting today, you can pre order the CD, vinyl, and/or digital version of the album online! The best part? No matter what you order, it comes with an IMMEDIATE download of “We Think What You Think” in your choice of MP3, WAV, or any other format you might desire.
We’re hoping you elect to pick up any physical purchases (CD or vinyl) at either the CD release show in Hollywood on Sep 14th at Hotel Cafe, or in Berkeley on Sep 21st at the Starry Plough. This will save (us) time and (you) money, and will make us all feel good about reducing our carbon footprint.
However, if you must have your merchandise mailed, please consider paying an extra $4 for vinyl and $2 for a cd to cover shipping costs. All pre-orders will be mailed on Sep 14th and should arrive within 3-10 days, depending on your distance from Los Angeles.
Any orders that are supposed to be picked up and are not will be sent to whatever shipping address is provided.
Thanks everyone!

ABOUT
BIO
Song Preservation Society is an alt-folk trio known for their stirring vocal harmonies, prolific songwriting, and charismatic live shows. Often compared to Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Paul Simon, and the Fleet Foxes, SPS delivers a sound that is both timeless and relevant.
Bandmates Daniel Wright, Ethan Glazer, and Trevor Bahnson met at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where they immediately connected on a musical and personal level. Two years later, they re-located to California, where they lived together, sang together, wrote songs and eventually formed “Song Preservation Society.” With their large repertoire of original songs and a memorable live shows, the trio quickly built fan bases in both the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.
The members of Song Preservation Society currently reside in Los Angeles, CA, and recently released their second EP, “Ready Room”.
PRESS
"Robust like the scenery in the Golden State, Song Preservation Society highlights the natural, hearty and pure elements in their songs, and the full arrangements (strings, woodwind, brass) make theirs a society for sophisticates."
-Seraphina, Buzz Bands LA
“Song Preservation Society carry a fresh, excited youth that is simply novel in their burgeoning genre.”
“Song Preservation Society’s soft, tenor voices melt together as if they were one, with harmonies and melodic intricacies. No synths. No pitch adjustment. Just euphony.”
“When the men of up-and-coming acoustic trio Song Preservation Society play a set, something strange happens — it almost sounds as though their guitars start talking to each other. One calls out to the other, while the third jabbers away in the background. As the music reaches deep down within and awakens something visceral, you can almost make out what they are saying.”
- Natalie Morin, Neon Tommy
“What the Shins are to the movie Garden State, Song Preservation Society could be to a potential Golden State.”
“SPS write songs of love and life as taught by their Woodstock predecessors, and these kids have learned it well.”
“Though there are only three guitars, there are, in effect, a total of six instruments, with the act’s masterful harmonies being as important as the stellar guitar skills of Daniel Wright.”
“There are bands out there that are successful in this genre, but none with the vocal prowess of this act.”
-Paula Munoz, Music Connection
“Remarkable charisma.”
“Preserving and propagating the best qualities of folk music.”
“The laid-back sound of Song Preservation Society lay somewhere between Paul Simon and Bon Iver, leaning to the more modern side of folk.”
"You get glimmers of artistry from yesteryear, but then SPS does something to bring you back to the present. The blending of old and new provides for familiar, yet inspiring territory."
-Monica Hunt, LA Music Blog
