Welcome to the archive of Simple Folk Radio...
a weekly show presented by a small, rag-tag group of friends, friends with a common love of music with folk and country sensibilities. We take it in turn to play records, air sessions, live recordings, and generally share our latest obsessions with one another.
Between us all you can expect to hear from the flotsam and jetsam of scenes and styles such as anti-folk, blue-grass, singer songwriter, alt-country, Appalachtion, honky-tonk, country-rock, Americana...along with outsider music, music that doesn't really fit in to any scene, but we simply want to share with the world.
Since our modest beginning's back in 20005, we've been making Simple Folk Radio as a way to champion live music, and promote artists who aren't Pepsi Chart Show material, who your average Joe may never stumble upon, unless someone takes the time to sing their praises, and play their records. We do not make any money from this show.
So far we've been humbled by such prestigious artists as Jeff & Jack Lewis, Great Lake Swimmers, Kimya Dawson, Charlie Parr, The Handsome Family, King Creosote, Akron/Family, Josh T. Pearson (Lift To Experience), James Yorkston, Phosphorescent, Jana Hunter, Viking Moses, Stanley Brinks (Andre Herman Dune), Real Live Tigers, Okkervil River, Turner Cody, Eef Barzelay (Clem Snide), Joe Gideon & The Shark.. |
