Folding Mr. Lincoln Tickets

Folding Mr. Lincoln is a San Diego-based acoustic/folk project fronted by Harry Mestyanek and Nancy Mestyanek. The duo, joined by longtime collaborators, crafts jangly pop and fiddle-driven folk with roots/Americana sensibilities. The group has cultivated a warm live sound through a monthly residency at Rebecca’s in South Park and a rotating lineup that has included Charlie Loach, Alicia Previn, Jeff Stasny, and Greg Gohde. Here you’ll find a detailed biography, a highlight reel of their discography, and the latest on any touring activity. If you’re in or near San Diego, secure your seats early for intimate performances that capture storytelling and melody in equal measure.

Folding Mr. Lincoln’s work blends narrative lyricism with bright, organic instrumentation. Their concept album Two Rivers (2013) traces the life story of Lynne and Eugene, featuring songs like Under Western Skies, Lynne & Eugene, and Every Step of the Way. The band has earned recognition including a 2011 San Diego Music Awards nomination for Best Americana Album (Live At Old Time Music) and sustained Roots Music Report activity around 2012. While public 2025 tour dates aren’t listed, the project’s legacy continues to resonate with fans of jangly folk-pop and roots-driven storytelling.
