The Willows: "The Willows are a folk band from Cambridge, UK. Their
first album Beneath Our Humble Soil was nominated for Best Debut in the
Spiral Earth Awards 2014, and has been championed by the likes of Bob
Harris and Mike Harding. The much anticipated follow-up Amidst Fiery Skies,
co-produced with Sean Lakeman was released to
critical acclaim, with The Telegraph hailing it "a triumph" in a
5-star review and a place in their folk albums of 2014. Fronted by the
breathtaking vocals of Jade Rhiannon, supported by rich vocal harmonies and
dynamic acoustic musicianship the band take
influence from folk traditions on both sides of the Atlantic."... Artists' website
Threepenny Bit: "are a
unique example of how traditional dance tunes and contemporary
sounds can blend together into a totally fresh interpretation of folk
music. This raucous 8 piece band combines a group of diehard folkies with
some of the finest young jazz and classical musicians in the south. Their
arrangement and orchestration are a truly unique addition to the
genre."... Artists' website
Couldn't agree more :-)
Karine Polwart:
Scottish singer and wonderful songwriter... "Her debut album Faultlines won three awards at the 2005 BBC Folk
Awards, including Best Album. Its follow up, Scribbled in Chalk (2006),
contained “Daisy”, a gentle word to the wise to one of
life’s givers and truth-tellers who can’t quite comprehend that
“there are people in this world who don’t think like you
do”. The song won Polwart another BBC Folk
Award for Best Original Song in 2007." ...Artist's website
Norman Blake: multi-instrumentalist American guitar icon with an
impressive CV incorporating folk, traditional and progressive bluegrass,
country, rock and involving a veritable who's who of American musicians
along the way. " For Blake's fans, Wood, Wire
& Words (his first recording of all-original pieces since 1974's Fields
of November) sounds like the album he's wanted to make for decades. For
those who love American folk music but are unfamiliar with his work, there
has never been a better argument for making this a starting place and
moving backward."... Thom Jurek

Flashpoint: "is a trio of young musicians performing contemporary
folk music rooted in the traditions of Ireland and Scotland. With a sound
that is both sophisticated and spontaneous, they put on a stirring live
show that is engaging to a variety of audiences." Artists website
They will be making their Little Rock Folk Club debut on Sat Feb 7th
2015.
Tom Pacheco: 22nd release from this largely, indeed criminally, unknown
American singer/songwriter from New Bedford MA who is better known to
European and Scandanavian audiences. During a US
tour in a 10 year period of living in Dublin, Ireland he played a concert
in Little Rock around 1990 that was quite masterful.
Tom Lawrie: Scottish singer with invisible
carbon footprint!
