Califone: Folk Musician in New York

About Califone

Califone is the work of Tim Rutili, an artist who moves through country-rooted songwriting with the edges of alt country, indie folk, and post-rock. The project is built around close listening: worn acoustic textures, treated recordings, and arrangements that often feel assembled as much as performed. In New York City, Califone has appeared at Elsewhere, including bills with Early Worm. The live approach favors atmosphere and detail over spectacle.
