Clay Fulton and The Lost Forty with Manic Culture

Clay Fulton & the Lost 40 are a dynamic roots rock band hailing from Rochester, MN. With a blend of gritty Americana, folk-infused melodies, and raw, heartfelt lyrics, they capture the ups and downs of life, love and loss through genuine storytelling with hope for things to come. Their sound is a fusion of influences spanning generations, echoing the timeless spirit of classic rock, and the clever wit and vulnerability in Fulton's lyrics and songwriting reminiscent of the Old Town school of folk music. From foot-stomping anthems to introspective ballads, The Lost 40 deliver an authentic music experience that resonates with audiences of all ages, and keep you coming back for more.
Since its inception in 2021, the Lost 40 have performed throughout the Midwest and abroad at major festivals like SXSW, Lumberjack Days, Caravan Du Nord, Mid West Music Fest, and shared bills with The Suburbs, Your Smith, Charlie Parr, The Big Wu, Nur-D, and more.
Hailing from Austin, Minnesota, Manic Culture is an alternative rock band creating gritty, atmospheric music rooted in honesty and emotional depth. Their sound blends driving guitars and moody textures with lyrics that confront the realities of addiction, mental illness, and the complicated question of what it means to be human.
Rather than turning away from life’s darker moments, Manic Culture leans into them—transforming struggle into connection. Their debut single, “Obey,” offers a first glimpse into a sound that is both raw and immersive, with more music on the way as the band works toward releasing their first EP.
At its core, Manic Culture exists to build connection. Through vulnerable storytelling and powerful sound, the band hopes to reach listeners on a human level and leave them with a sense of peace in the chaos.
