Radio heat has been out for ✨3 months✨ and to celebrate here’s an extra cheesy picture of me & the night we opened the record and heard the needle drop for the first time (obviously can’t really contain our enthusiasm ☺️).

We’ve heard for years that is the best in the bay but we’re finally finding out first hand 🤩 reliving the release show through Ginger’s lens is as close as it gets to the real thing, and we’re so grateful to have these incredible photos to return to again and again! 🎞️🙏

DESIREE CANNON RELEASE SHOW Feb. 24th at the River Theater in Guerneville! 📻🔥💦

From the moment we set foot inside the River Theater in 2020, we knew we had to plan something very special there in the future. was a radio DJ at at the time, and we met up with her in Guerneville to listen to her show and get a tour of this beautiful, historic venue. With meteors hanging from the ceiling and the original alien figure from ALIEN on the stage, Des was obviously right at home. 👽 SO, when it came time to plan a release show for her stunning, deep-space-inspired album Radio Heat, the River Theater just seemed like the place…

SO, WE HOPE YOU JOIN US on Saturday, February 24th to be serenaded by Desiree & band + the incomparable 🎸, to dance into the night with DJs and and to wander around this piece of living history. DRESS TO IMPRESS 💅🏼 for a night on the river with so many special people. If you have ever been to a far-out Long Road Society show, you know what to expect, and we hope that you tell all your friends to ride out to the country to make some memories with us. Ticket link in the comments with more details, including special deals on accommodations if you want to spend the night (we hope you do)!!

Celebrating today as he makes a full lap around the sun one more time. 🥳 So many of the photos I have of Pat are some version of this… big smile on his face while making music with his friends 🫶🎶 if you know him you know his talent, generosity, fierce friendship, New-England-born-and-raised work ethic, contagious laughter, and selfless, constant commitment to music. It is no exaggeration to say he plays some part in every single project on our record label, and we’ve been honored to have him as a collaborator since day one. 🙏 He’s the incredible composer behind ✨, leads a double life re-building pianos full time, and in his spare moments is the operator of his handbuilt soundsystem .hifi 😳 oh, and he’s also a DJ with impeccable taste!! Very excited that TONIGHT he’ll be putting down some Jamaican tunes for all of us to groove to… come swing & dance at for the Steady Rockin’ vinyl reggae party in honor of this man’s birthday!! Love you cuz

‘tis the season my sweet & spooky friends 👻 and we're very excited to begin it with the announcement of this beautiful event (alongside this incredible poster from 🤯)!! We are collaborating with in Port Costa for the first time and we got to build this total dreamboat of a lineup feat. & 🤤. This is a free, all day party (starts at 1pm!) with local vendors & artists ( & to name a few), delicious food & drinks (BVR never disappoints 🍹), and live music starting at 5pm (sharp!)...

If you haven't been to Port Costa, the town itself is worth the visit - you can sit along the banks of the Carquinez Strait, flatten pennies on the railroad tracks, shop for crystals & vintage, and even check out the iconic neighboring bar (the Warehouse) right across the street. PLUS, by the time October 29th rolls around, the days will be darker, the veil will be thinner, and the full moon will have just graced the night sky!! In summary, it will be a day & night full of magic in a special little town and we hope you can join us. Your ancestors are invited too!! We will have a community altar set up and everyone is welcome to bring pictures & offerings to honor their loved ones. 🕯️

Learn more at the link in the comments and please RSVP if you plan to come and/or want to learn more! We will be updating the RSVP email list with more detailed info on the event (set times, menu, etc) as we get closer to the day. There’s also an option to donate to the artists, which is always encouraged & appreciated - anyone who donates will go home with a special print of this poster!! Many thanks to BVR for having us, we can’t wait 🫶

sent me this celestial forecast from this week and I just can’t get enough of it, “On Sunday, mark your calendars with a gold star. The Sun conjoins Venus in a cazimi, shining golden rays of warmth and pleasure onto our bonds. Sunday is one of the best days for connection, adornment, beauty, and art during this Venus retrograde cycle. So dress up. Feel cute. Gather your loved ones. And enjoy.” 💫 That’s THIS SUNDAY my friends and the forecast calls for golden rays of warmth and pleasure shining onto our bonds ☺️ I certainly plan to take this seriously by dressing up 👗 adorning the stage & bar with flowers from 🌹 & 🌸 and gathering with all my loved ones for a day of beauty and art!!

We hope you plan to join us all day!! There will be tix to the show at the door and the party really starts at 2pm on 2nd Ave with 🎉 there will be food from & Four Corners Pizza // there will be lots of amazing vendors including & selling vintage, selling vinyl, selling jams, coffee and other goodies, & .sundry selling jewelry, with their amazing baked goods, .vermillionaire selling tinctures and other herbal remedies, & bringing their beautiful woven works 🧶 // PLUS there will be fun activities throughout the day including life path tarot reading with 🔮, a facial workshop at 💆🏻‍♀️ AND movies at in their new, very cool VHS movie theatre!!

Sorry if you’re tired of reading but one more special feature is that we’ll have DJs from the crew soundtracking this event from 2-6pm. Can’t wait to hear sets from & 😍 and of course after tripping around town all day you should end up at to be serenaded by & (stories sprinkled in from Ben Bourdon). SEE YOU IN THE GOLDEN RAYS OF WARMTH & PLEASURE

Ever since our headquarters shifted to Crockett a few years ago, we've been patiently awaiting the right time to plan a show at our local (iconic) bar & venue ... and today we're very excited to announce that the stars have aligned for our Crockett debut on Sunday, August 13th!! ✨ PLEASE JOIN US along the Carquinez Strait for live music from a cast of Long Road Society artists: full band sets from & plus special guest appearances from & storyteller (+ local Crockett resident) Ben Bourdon. If you love Run With The Moon, consider this show to be like its louder, slightly rowdier cousin. We'll also have parked out front all night so come hungry! 🌮

We encourage you to GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/mikayla-mcvey-kit-center-levi-thomas-at-toots-tavern-crockett-ca-tickets-676230793507

Advance tix will help us gauge the crowd - Toot's is a relatively small room *which may sell out* plus we'll need to know how many tables to take out and extra backroom bars to set up to accommodate you all 😉 And as is often the case, they're cheaper!

Big thank you once again to for this incredible poster and honoring our downtown perfectly 🙏 We'll also have very limited-edition silk-screened posters from at the show!!

We hope you come out to the area early in the day to check out Crockett and the surrounding hills & towns... it's a short daytrip from most of the Bay Area (< 30 mins from Oak!) and there's plenty to do, especially on a Sunday afternoon! Come early and take a walk along the Strait (rec: Bull Valley Staging Area, George Miller Trail), explore the little town of Port Costa (rec: music/drinks at the Warehouse! a stroll along the shoreline! breakfast at ?!), and try to land in Crockett in the mid-afternoon to check out our very first 2nd Sundays on 2nd Avenue event, featuring a sidewalk sale from 2-6pm with lots of local makers/vendors including 👗, special bbq/crawfish boil popup from the folks at 🦞, vintage & matinee movies at & general merriment downtown!! Grab your show tix & start planning your adventure...

SHOW DAY!! 👏 it’s been a minute since I’ve been behind the turntables in public so I’m truly looking forward to kicking off our show tonight at ❤️‍🔥 there will definitely been a friends & family // local legends portion of my set (sampling seen here) but also plenty of of psych, blues, and soul from the record vaults! I’ll likely be trying to make & blush by playing at least a song or two from their beautiful albums before they take the stage ☺️ (NOTE: THE ROSE SOCIETY from Angelica isn’t in this stack because I’ll be picking up my copy tonight…and you should you!)

Find me at the DJ booth starting at 7pm, and milling around it all night to take notes from an impressive cast of LRS DJs & 💎

Sets from (solo) followed by & her very talented band starting at 8pm! 💫

The latest review of Shasta from Various Small Flames deserves its own spotlight!! 🔦 the folks that write for VSF just seem to understand our artists and most importantly actually listen to our records deeply before writing about them 🙏 we have so much gratitude for music listeners & writers like this when most outlets just regurgitate a press release in a pay-to-play PR world. Their review of Shasta by Levi Thomas is worth the full read (link below, I only posted the first couple paragraphs) and while you’re at it you should check out their incredible write up of “The Light” from Dawn Riding (one of the only music outlets that did a deep dive into that work of art). So, thank you VSF for keeping it real, we appreciate your commitment to discovering new music, genuine listening, & thoughtful writing 🫶

https://varioussmallflames.co.uk/2023/05/17/levi-thomas-shasta/

“The opposite turns out to be true, as though in turning to simplicity Levi Thomas taps into some organic energy, an amalgamation of heat and shadow as drawn from sunlight, wood smoke, the rising warmth of the Californian night.” - Jon Doyle, VSF

🔥 RELEASE DAY!! 🔥 Very excited to welcome Shasta by Levi Thomas into the world!! Shasta is the first LRS album to be released that was recorded & mixed at our new Big Sur outpost, Sundog Studios, and we couldn’t be prouder 😭😭 Go listen wherever you listen to music & buy the stunning LP if records are your thing! ALL LINKS HERE: https://linktr.ee/longroadsociety

These photos pay tribute to the massive talent that made this album shine!! Thank you Levi Thomas, Dominic Aiello, Darwin Siegaldoud, Nicholas Merz, CH McCoy for riding with us. It was such a big, beautiful experience recording this album and I think that all the feelings are captured in these songs. A special acknowledgment to Christie & Melina for creating the space for magic to happen, and to our own Kit Center who led the design of this perfect, humble Big Sur studio and caught all the right moments on tape. 🎞

Get out there and listen! We hope you love it as much as we do! 🤩

And, hopefully after listening all week you’ll come see it in person!! Join us this Saturday at Thee Stork Club in Oakland with performances from Levi, Desiree Cannon, & Kit Center and then this Sunday at Club Tee Gee in LA with Levi, Des, and Jake Tittle🎸

LEVI THOMAS / SHASTA releases May 9th, vinyl pre-orders & release show tix available now!

We've been holding our tongues on this one for a while but are very excited to announce SHASTA by Levi Thomas - a limited-edition vinyl (and digital) release hitting the air waves on May 9th! This album holds a very special place in our record label's journey, as it is the first project we’ve released to be recorded and mixed at our Big Sur analog outpost Sundog Studios. In the digital age, this project truly remained in the bounds of the analog recording experience - Levi & his band showed up with a clear vision, and created a beautiful album on an 8-track Tascam 388, recorded and mixed down by Kit Center in one room on a coastal mountaintop (powered by the sun). It was a dream and we're honored to release it into the wild - vinyl pre-orders are available now and tickets are live for our Oakland release show celebration!! Link in the comments below!

Shasta owes it's gritty, psychedelic sound to the work of many talented musicians: Levi (vocals, guitars), Dominic Aiello (drums), Darwin Siegaldoud (bass, organ, wurlitzer), CH McCoy (piano, organ, wurlitzer), Nicholas Merz (pedal steel, BGVs), & Kit Center (drum machine, percussion, BGVs). Thank you to everyone who collaborated to make this beautiful album, including Amelia Walsh who really translated the album into the visual realm & delivered on this epic painting (pic 2) for the album cover 🥵 And they won't see this, but so much gratitude to Christie & Melina for stewarding a space to create freely.

The release show is set for May 13th at Thee Stork Club and it'll be a real family affair with sets by Levi, Kit, & Desiree Cannon !! We're still floored by the incredible poster that Guston Abrigh hand-painted for this night of music (pic 3) and will have a limited # of custom printed copies at the show (this FB post demands a square but we will have true show bills on the 13th)!

**LRS SUBSCRIBERS: this release is a part of your current subscription package! You do not need to pre-order the album, as it will be arriving at your doorstep in the coming weeks. Thank you for your support! 🙏
