Alex Amen to perform at Brooklyn’s Union Pool on July 27
Los Angeles-based songwriter Alex Amen will bring his rising star power to Brooklyn’s Union Pool (484 Union Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11211) on July 27 as part of the venue’s popular Summer Thunder series. The performance follows the release of his debut EP, The Zorthian Tapes—a stunning introduction to a new voice in modern folk that blends poetic storytelling with psychedelic undertones and a deep sense of place. Known for his quietly explosive entrance into the Americana scene, Amen has already earned the attention of legends like Lucinda Williams and Waxahatchee, and played a set at Willie Nelson’s ranch earlier this year.
Amen’s journey has been anything but typical. After growing up in Texas and briefly studying film in California, he dropped out and immersed himself in communal living, farming, and isolation—experiences that shaped the introspective, deeply layered songs on The Zorthian Tapes. Recorded at the now-lost Zorthian Ranch, the EP captures a sense of impermanence and resilience that feels especially powerful live. With slots at major festivals like Newport Folk, Outside Lands, and Americanafest now under his belt, Amen’s Union Pool set is a rare chance to see one of folk’s most promising new voices in an intimate setting before his star ascends even further.
