SOQUEL, Calif. (June 27, 2025) — Join us for a rare and intimate evening with one of California’s most compelling, poetic voices. Singer-songwriter Rags Rosenberg will take the stage at The Ugly Mug Coffee House on Thursday, August 7 from 7–9 p.m., to celebrate the release of his highly anticipated new album, Song of the Bricoleur.

A troubadour of the West with a voice weathered by miles and meaning, Rosenberg’s songs channel the ghosts of Leonard Cohen, the grit of Tom Waits, and the soul-searching of Bob Dylan — yet his sound remains wholly original. After years spent roaming the backroads of America in a 16-foot trailer, Rags now calls Carmel, California home, where he continues crafting songs that speak to the beauty, ache, and strange humor of being human.

This isn’t just a concert — it’s a homecoming. A celebration of a new chapter. Song of the Bricoleur is a luminous work about creating meaning from what remains, echoing the spirit of the “bricoleur” — the maker who builds art from fragments.

Rags will be joined on stage by Taylor Safina, whose accompaniment brings a vibrant, resonant dimension to the performance. The night promises emotional depth, poetic storytelling, and musical moments that linger long after the last note.

Seating is limited. Arrive early. This is a must-see summer event for anyone craving music that matters — raw, tender, and true.

Tickets are $20 advance at https://ragsrosenberg.com/shows and $25 at the door.
