August Gladstone is a singer/songwriter from California who takes influence from the folk revival of the 60’s and 70’s. A little bit country, a little Bob Dylan etc., August released his debut album “The Golden West” on 16th of May and it’s certainly an interesting journey of an album.

THE GOLDEN WEST
FULL ALBUM
OUT NOW

A lot of hard work, a lot of life lived, processed through the guise of the rhinestoned west. I’m so proud.

I’ve spoken much about this project already. Now I will let it speak for itself. I hope you enjoy. Many blessings.

🏜️🤠🌀

I’m very proud to release FREEDOM today. This song is revolution, shared destitution, a last cry of hope as the world falls to ruin. It’s my favorite. The final single paving the road to The Golden West.

Photo by the talents @dawar_pranav and @zac_wiczek during our @woodstock_byrdcliffe_guild short film shoot - had to use this as the cover since Freedom was written in residence.

You can listen to it now on all platforms and hear it live on 5.16 at the Escondite. Speak soon 🏜️

#newmusic #folkmusic #poetry #lyricist #protestsongs

Freedom is the best piece of writing I’ve done. Maniac Orchestra rocked it out @theviperroom. It comes out worldwide on 5.7. You can pre-save it in my bio. I hope you’ll find some meaning in it 🌀

Wow! One whole year with lady. Clare’s my rock lobster, making me smile like no-one else. Eternal muse, ruler of my heart, damn fine dame. If all I had was her I’d still be luckier than words.

Hills means a lot to me, man. Writing it helped push me out of a damn dark spot. It’s out today wherever you get your tunes, and it rips. Hope you’ll listen 🏔️🤠🌄
