Foliage (SXSW)

4.3

Immerse yourself in the dreamy haze of Foliage, the solo project of San Bernardino's Manuel Joseph Walker, bringing his chameleonic blend of modern shoegaze, indie rock, post-punk, hip-hop, and electronic vibes to Austin's Low Down Lounge!

For a decade, this one-man powerhouse has crafted intimate yet ritualistic tracks you can vibe to solo in headphones or scream along with a cold drink in hand. Hits like "It's Time" have exploded on 19K TikToks from Le Creuset to Netflix, and his arena-ready "Missing Hearts" (which he directed the video for) boasts millions of streams. Fresh off singles like "One Side Waits While the Other Fakes," previewing his first full-length in six years, Foliage is set to dominate SXSW and 2026 with unforgettable live energy.
