Read our review of Rachel Sermanni’s debut album ‘Under Mountains’ and listen to our exclusive ‘Under Mountains’ session. Rachel is without doubt one of our greatest singer songwriters today.
‘Seed of a Pine’ is packed with emotive and beautiful songs which brilliantly showcases the talents of Dave McGraw & Mandy Fer . It is a brooding grower that offers more and more upon each listen.
Dizraeli and the Small Gods release official video for ‘Never Mind’…..”…atheism and Englishness through folk, rap, spoken word and hymns, who embody 21st Century folk”
Brooke Sharkey’s debut album ‘One Dress’ possesses a powerful mastery way beyond any debut album expectations. A classic in the making! Download her free track: His Voice
On Joyce the Librarian’s latest release ‘They Put Land Between Us’ the Bristolian quartet has taken the Folk-Pop genre, stripped it bare and rebuilt it gracefully with their own originality.
The Shee are known for their mix of folk, bluegrass and trad delivered with affecting vocals and lush instrumentals, ‘Murmurations’, their third release, delivers once again this fine balance.
The one English folk band that wins more fans outside the folk music circle than any other is Bellowhead, their latest release ‘Broadside’ is without doubt their most defining album to date. Fantastic!
Early Alan Younger is difficult to pin down, giving some crediblity to the description of “from the ground up”. He has no doubt been maturing his own brand of folk-rock in southern Minneapolis for some time.
More For The Mender is the debut release from Ashland, Oregon based trio Kites & Crows. Wrapped in beautiful warm tones and harmonies with a rustic charm that makes it the perfect winter evening companion.
