Robert Lester Folsom is a singer/songwriter crafting warm and breezy soft rock/AM pop confections with a psychedelic twist. His one studio album (1978's Music & Dreams) amassed some regional attention upon its release, but remained largely invisible to the rest of the world until the Brooklyn-based indie label Mexican Summer reissued it in 2010. This reactivated Folsom's creativity, and he began recording and performing new material. Mexican Summer continued championing Folsom in the years that followed by releasing collections of archival demos like 2022's Sunshine Only Sometimes. While new fans were discovering Folsom's '70s material for the first time, he was working on new material and in 2016 released Beautiful Nonsense, then in 2020 Abacus Atlanta Sessions. In 2022, a second volume of unreleased demos surfaced with Sunshine Only Sometimes: Archives Vol. 2, 1972-1975. Robert Lester Folsom's music appears on well-known Netflix series Outer Banks, as well as Gossip Girl.
