Rome, Georgia Jun 9, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Flux Oersted Celebrates 50 Years of A Presence Called Fred with Live Recordings from Poe Boy Jam ’85
Flux Oersted, the trailblazing American electronic folk band, is thrilled to announce the release of A Presence Called Fred: Live at Poe Boy Jam ’85, a complete recording of the band’s iconic debut and farewell performance. This historic album, set for release on November 9, 2025, marks the 50th anniversary of the legendary Poe Boy Jam, a pivotal moment in the band’s journey.
Captured in 1985, these live recordings showcase A Presence Called Fred’s raw energy, blending heavy synthesizers, Appalachian-inspired melodies, and the innovative spirit that defines Flux Oersted’s sound. Rediscovered and digitized from forgotten tapes, this album offers fans a rare glimpse into the band’s early days, featuring tracks that echo the influences of Kraftwerk and Gary Numan while celebrating Georgia’s musical heritage.
“This is more than an album—it’s a time capsule,” says Robby Garner, founder of Flux Oersted. “The Poe Boy Jam ’85 was a moment of pure creativity, and these recordings capture the heart of A Presence Called Fred. We’re excited to share this with fans old and new as we celebrate 50 years.”
The release will be commemorated with a virtual event on November 9, 2025, streamed on X and YouTube, featuring a full playback of the album, exclusive commentary, and fan interaction. The album will be available on Bandcamp, with limited-edition vinyl and merchandise available for pre-order. https://fluxoersted.bandcamp.com/album/a-presence-called-fred-at-poe-boy-jam-85
