Sophie Allison, better known as Soccer Mommy, writes the kind of songs that hit you right in the gut—confessional, atmospheric, and razor-sharp in their emotional precision. On Friday, February 28th, she’ll bring her dreamy indie-rock melancholy to San Francisco’s legendary Fillmore for a night of raw, beautifully sad, and sometimes surprisingly fierce performances.
Since the release of her breakout album Clean and its brilliant follow-up color theory, Allison has proven herself a master of crafting music that feels as introspective as it does expansive.
It’s indie rock stripped down to its bones—warm guitar riffs, aching lyrics, and a voice that seems to float through the haze of late-night heartache. Songs like “Circle the Drain” and “Your Dog” have an uncanny ability to tap into the quiet chaos of your twenties: loneliness, love, and the strange, creeping beauty of just being alive.
But don’t mistake her subdued energy for passivity—Soccer Mommy’s live shows are an experience. She commands the room with a calm, magnetic presence, pulling listeners into her sonic world of hazy nostalgia and biting self-awareness. The Fillmore, with its storied walls and history of musical legends, is the perfect venue for her sound to unfurl, delicate and unhurried, but somehow all-consuming.
Whether you’re nursing a heartbreak, revisiting your teenage angst, or just someone who appreciates a perfectly crafted sad-girl anthem, this show will deliver. Soccer Mommy doesn’t just perform—she lets you feel like you’re sitting next to her, swapping stories under flickering streetlights.
