Seth Faergolzia Embarks on 2025 European Tour, Blending Heartfelt Fingerpicking and Wild Vocal Loops
Seth Faergolzia, the Rochester, New York-based avant-folk visionary, is set to traverse Europe in 2025, bringing his singular blend of tender acoustic intimacy and frenetic vocal loop sorcery to stages across the continent. Known for his fearless reinvention of folk traditions through projects like Dufus, Multibird, and Forest Creature, Faergolzia remains a cult icon whose work defies categorization, drawing comparisons to Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa for its audacious originality. This tour promises to showcase a softer, more introspective side of his artistry, juxtaposed with the electrifying chaos of his signature vocal loop station performances.

I’ve got a solo tour coming up through parts of Europe this Spring.

I feel like I just finished one tour and now I’m on another… it’s been a busy time, which I’m thankful for, but after this tour I’ll be taking a half year break to focus on new recordings, videos and the obvious: life and living! But for now, it’s wise to prepare for this tour…

and, indeed, you heard that right, Dufus is getting back together for a one time show September 23 at Baker Falls with Jeffrey Lewis, Nathan Dufour and Toby Goodshank on the bill.   We will most certainly have special guests coming up throughout the show!

Not Ants!! Within this 10 song LP you’ll find songs about ants (actually not ants), peaceful protest, keeping things real, letting go the child self, sailing in a cave (a dream song Regina Spektor sang), perfectly sculpted hairdos in the age of societal collapse, bringing the masses into a positive future, gun issues, dissassembling reality and the pitfalls involved, and letting go of all meaning. There are many more words than that within the songs, and tons of notes, mostly sung.

The album is structured off of live looping with voice and occasional instruments coupled with a new, less affected way of singing as suggested by my friend and collegue Jeffrey Lewis. I hope you’ll take the time to listen then buy the album!

This year I’ve put out 4 official releases plus some under pseudonyms… clearing out my vaults.  Next month there’ll be a new DUFUS LIVE ALBUM!

With all these new albums I thought it time to tour Europe!

I’ve got a bunch of dates booked in August, but still have a few days available and will likely move things around a little bit.  If you want me to come to your area, please respond to this email!  or write me directly here
