about

The Mascot Theory is proud to introduce LIVE at Clutch Sound Studios. The album will be available as a CD / DVD Combo double-disc package including the video footage from each song's performance. And for the first time in their 7 year career, the entire album will be available on an LP vinyl record!

On a cold and ice-covered February day in early 2019 folk rock band The Mascot Theory (and friends) recorded a handful of their most-played songs that spanned their seven-year career to date, in front of an intimate crowd of enthusiastic super fans. The band teamed up with studio engineer/owner Brian Liston at Clutch Sound Studios in Madison, WI to capture the audio and video from the performance.
"We've been playing some of these songs for many years now, and of course over time they have morphed and twisted a bit during the live shows. So we decided to capture this 2019 performance as a small snapshot of this collection of songs and musicians. It's like a time-capsule album that represents our past as well as where we are right now as a band." - Erik Kjelland of The Mascot Theory

about

The Mascot Theory Madison, Wisconsin

The Mascot Theory sound has roots in the Americana genre, but the new album leans heavily into classic rock influences; harmonies that bring to mind the Eagles or America, a bit of that Rolling Stones guitar swagger, a little ZZ Top blues rock, a dash of the Pink Floyd mood, but never straying far from the core of the Tom Petty/Beatles/Poco-esque importance of solid melody and lyrics. ... more
