Join Kowalski Jr. on Wednesday, February 26th at 4pm to hear her recent conversation with Nick Saloman of The Bevis Frond ahead of the band’s show at Great American Music Hall in SF on March 11th.
Over the last four decades, the prolific Saloman—the band’s songwriter and singer and, on many albums, the sole performer of all the instruments—has amassed an underground following in the U.K. and beyond, developing his own blend of raw psychedelia, swirling pop melodies, and punk sensibilities across more than two dozen records. His most recent, 2024’s Focus on Nature, showcases the joyfully direct style of songcraft that has come to be associated with The Bevis Frond.
Saloman and his touring band are about to embark on their first trip to the U.S. in over 25 years. Tune in to hear about the DIY determination that led to the creation of The Bevis Frond, how growing up in London in the 1960s shaped his musical dreams, and the twists and turns he faced along the way to fulfilling them.
