TBO STALOCH’S EP, ‘THE GARDEN’, IS OUT TODAY VIA CAPITOL RECORDSoday, Bo Staloch released The Garden, a stunning EP that offers a distinct and powerful portrait of the acclaimed new-Americana storyteller over the course of six songs. Download / stream The Garden HERE.
Alongside the EP’s release, Bo shared a live performance video of “Fault Line,” one of the EP’s standout tracks. View “Fault Line” (Live from Laurel Canyon Cabin) HERE.
Describing “Fault Line” as one of the favorite songs he’s ever written, Bo Staloch explains how the track reflects a personal breakthrough for him: “I had an issue where, if something went wrong — whether in life, a relationship or a friendship — I would automatically blame myself. After a while, that got pretty heavy on me. When I had my wisdom teeth taken out, I was couch-ridden for a while and had time to think. I came to the realization I wasn’t actually happy and it was because of the subconscious blame I was putting on myself. I didn’t even know I was doing it. Right after the bridge in ‘Fault Line,’ there is this cinematic, anthemic section, and I’m yelling in the background and getting everything out. It’s a release of all that weight.”
Staloch will be performing his new songs live when he supports Ashe on her upcoming U.S. tour. Kicking off on May 28 at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, the run includes an evening at New York’s Brooklyn Steel (June 3) and a sold-out show at The Bellwether in Los Angeles (June 20). Staloch will tour the UK this spring, performing headline shows in Dublin and London, supporting Mark Ambor on five dates and opening at Zach Bryan’s June 29 Hyde Park London show. See below for itinerary. Tickets are available here.
He recently wrapped up winter dates with Houndmouth and John Vincent III.
The Luna Collective observed, “2025 is looking to be the year of Bo Staloch…Full of powerful acoustic guitar and heartfelt lyricism, Bo Staloch’s music feels like it deserves to be listened to while sun-kissed and driving amongst the most cinematic of scenery…a special sonic blend of country, folk, and americana.”
Atwood Magazine observed, “Bo Staloch basks in stomp-and-holler bliss…”
To help him mold The Garden, Bo teamed up with producer Andrew Wells (Phoebe Bridgers, Teddy Swims, Halsey), working out of Wells’ Laurel Canyon-facing home studio. That secluded setting, steeped in folk-rock history, lent a peaceful atmosphere to some emotionally stormy material. Across soul-baring numbers like the barnstorming “Give It a Break,” the profound title track and the utterly raw “Oh God, Were You Ever?” (produced by Josh Block), Bo’s inner thoughts spill out into tales of love, loss, growth and resilience. As Staloch prepares to welcome a crowd into The Garden, he emphasizes just how much inner peace writing, recording, and performing has brought him. It’s a singular blend of tranquility and catharsis he hopes he can project back to his listeners, who in many ways have become yet another extension of his family.
“Music’s saved me so many times, and I’ve found so much hope,” Staloch says. “That’s all you can ask for as an artist. I really hope this project can be a safe spot for whoever finds it. It’s like a handshake or a hug: Nice to meet you, this is me.”
