Info
Kelley Stoltz is an American songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and DIY innovator whose career stretches back to the late 1990s, when he began self-recording psych-tinged pop and garage rock in his San Francisco home studio. Born in New York City in 1971, and raised in Michigan, Stoltz has released a catalog of albums on labels including Sub Pop, Third Man, and Castle Face Records, often playing all of the instruments himself and drawing comparisons to the melodic craftsmanship of 60’s pop auteurs and the quirkiness of 80’s power-pop and new wave.
After issuing his 18th album, La Fleur, in 2024, he returns in 2026 with his 19th full-length release, If You Don’t Know Me, Buy Now, a collection that continues his exploration of hook-laden psych-pop, introspective lyrics, and textured arrangements that both honor his influences and push his sound forward. Guests Brigid Dawson of the Osees, Karina Denike of Dance Hall Crashers, Pete Straus of the Dwarves, Allyson Baker of Dirty Ghosts and other guests provide backing vocals on several tracks.
Stoltz is a onetime Echo & the Bunnymen rhythm guitarist and currently Robyn Hitchcock’s West Coast drummer. Stoltz is also now the host of radio station KEXP’s weekly Bay Area Music spotlight show, “Vinelands”. He will perform at The Croft in Bristol on 23/10/2026 at 6pm.
