the soul poets

We are a  local music company creating meaningful records and video, as well as joyous gatherings to protect our rivers and entire ecosystem for our future generations. 

American River Records was founded by Matthias Clark and Katie Franklin  on the banks of the Hudson River.
Now based in the seaside artistic mecca of Los Osos CA, American River Records is resurfacing in this time of great change. Matthias and Katie drove out to Standing Rock in North Dakota to stand in prayer with the water protectors and renewed their commitment with the label to help bring awareness and positive energies to the most important causes in our lifetimes: protecting our future generations water, earth, food, and cultural stories and song.
