About Fog City
- Fog City Records specializes in music with fat tones and deep roots. We make records that have a sense of place, by working with musicians that sound unmistakably and indelibly like where they come from. We seek the last outposts of regional American flavor, and hope to inspire you to explore the possibilities beyond the monochromatic blight of pop culture. In our 10 year history, the road less traveled has led us from San Francisco to New Orleans to Austin to Shreveport to San Diego to Jacksonville and back again, and our jaw-dropping catalog now includes debut records from MOFRO, Galactic, Stanton Moore, Garage A Trois, Papa Mali, Robert Walter's 20th Congress, Tim Bluhm and Etienne de Rocher.
