Rebecca Loebe hasn’t played Philadelphia since 2019, and she’s returning this Thursday, June 26, at The Fallser Club for a Song Roulette show — the format she’s developed over years of touring where the audience pulls song titles from a hat and builds the setlist together in real time. Local opener Kate Mills. Doors at 7pm. All ages.

The Fallser Club sits at 3721 Midvale Ave in East Falls, in a building that opened in 1914 as The Midvale Theatre — silent films, Arts and Crafts architecture — before cycling through a sound era, a stint as a grocery store, and years as office space for tech startups. When tech entrepreneurs Felicite Moorman and Ryan Buchert took ownership, they opened it as a nonprofit community music space in 2022 rather than convert it to apartments. The original catwalk leading up to the old projection booth is still there. The 5,000 sq ft space runs a state-of-the-art sound system with a second floor that gives a bird’s-eye view of the stage.

Rebecca Loebe and the Song Roulette Format

Loebe is an Austin-based singer-songwriter who built her following the old way: driving hundreds of thousands of miles in a station wagon, playing listening rooms and theaters across the US, Canada, Japan, and Europe. She was cast on the first season of NBC’s The Voice and has since noted, with characteristic wit, that her mentorship with Adam Levine meant “his career has really skyrocketed and I’m just so proud of that boy.” Her fifth album, Give Up Your Ghosts (2019), on the Grammy-nominated Blue Corn Music, drew praise from Billboard, Rolling Stone, and critic Dave Marsh. Kathy Mattea described her on NPR’s Mountain Stage as a performer at the height of her powers. Six albums in, that reading holds.

Song Roulette is the editorial hook because it’s genuinely different from a standard set. Loebe brings her full catalog — six albums and more than two decades of material — and hands curatorial control to the room. The format works for the person who knows every record of hers and for the one who’s never heard her: the hat doesn’t ask how long you’ve been a fan. Philadelphia’s folk and Americana audiences haven’t had a Song Roulette show from Loebe in seven years, and the catalog it’s drawing from has only deepened since.

Rebecca Loebe comes off two new singles released this spring. “Queen Mary II” (2026) is built from her great-grandmother’s Atlantic crossing — a piece of family history she’s only recently begun discussing publicly — and explores ancestry and longing with the emotional specificity her writing is known for. “Little Brute” is the counterpart: earnest, tongue-in-cheek, a formal apology to a dear friend. Both tracks feature Ray Hinman (Sara Bareilles, Molly Tuttle) and Sam Kassirer (Lake Street Dive, Josh Ritter).

Kate Mills opens. The Philadelphia-based singer draws from the 1970s Laurel Canyon tradition — folk-rock, orchestrated warmth, and worth arriving early for. Rebecca Loebe at The Fallser Club is the kind of entry on Philadelphia’s music calendar that rewards showing up: a room, a hat full of titles, and a seven-year absence finally ending. Doors open at 7pm. Tickets at thefallserclub.org.
