Sam Blasucci (of Mapache)
The Miniplex at Richards’ Goat Tavern
Born in Northeast Los Angeles, Sam Blasucci has lived across the U.S. and Mexico, including Coahuila, New Orleans, and Orem, and now finds home in Ojai, California. He learned music from his father as a child and formed Mapache at age 20, releasing 5 albums before launching his solo career in 2023.
Physical Dream is Blasucci’s fourth studio album and first double LP. It’s a sensorial, immersive record that shimmers, shudders, and grooves with genre-blurring mastery. Aside from traditional instrumentation, the album also gives voice to the environments where the music was made.
Lyrically, Physical Dream holds romance, mysticism, and political resistance side by side. Musically, the album feels like Leonard Cohen, Prince, and Brian Eno gave birth to a bilingual, fantastical, hypnotic phantom dance baby. Animated by introspection and motion, Physical Dream invites listeners into reflection and movement in equal measure.
Opening set by Sam Burton, whose music is characterized by a “timeless” folk-rock sound, often compared to 1960s and 70s artists like Glen Campbell, Harry Nilsson, and Nick Drake.
