FolkClassic and new folkies you'll hear on the Festival Radio: The Carter Family: Folk pioneers singing traditional mountain music Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer: Promising folk duet stilled in their prime. Put out three brilliant folk albums before Dave's untimely passing in mid-2002. Eddie From Ohio: They're folkin' excellent! And they're from Virginia. Fiddlers 4: Fiddle music supergroup with a wide stylistic range. If you like string band music, check these guys out. Nanci Griffith: Brilliant folk performer. Woody Guthrie: One of the first great folk troubadours of the modern era. This land is our land, and Woody deserves some of the credit. Tim Harrison: Talented Canadian folk singer Hem: This band defies description - a little bit folk, a little bit country, a little bit 70s pop with lush orchestration and the golden voice of Sally Ellyson. Tish Hinojosa: Blends the sounds of both sides of the Texas/Mexico border Bill Jones: Bill is short for Belinda, and she specializes in traditional songs, and originals that sound like traditional songs. Christine Lavin: The godmother of modern folk, and one of the most engaging performers I've ever seen. Tom Paxton: Modern folk pioneer still going strong John Prine: One of the best songwriters of the last three decades. The Queensberry Rules: acoustic folk group from England Harvey Reid and Joyce Anderson: Husband and wife duo from New England. She fiddles up a storm and he is one of the most accomplished finger-style guitarists and autoharp players you'll find anywhere Pete Seeger: The master. |
