Welcome to What FOLKs Are Playing a monthly playlist, of the best, Folk, Bluegrass, Singer Songwriter, Blues new releases and Fresh Finds. Hand-picked by JE² from mainstream and underground artists.
This, month, is my Soundtrack, for early October mornings, when slivers of light sneak through a canopy of brilliant oranges and reds.
Why this playlist?
- Discover New releases, hand-picked, from a wide spectrum of Folk & Americana genres, including:
• Folk • Bluegrass • Blues • Americana • Pop Folk • Singer Songwriter • Traditional Country • Alternative Folk • Folk Rock • Indie Folk • Acoustic Indie - Updated multiple times a week, throughout the month. Where Spotify updates just every Friday. I will update as I discover songs I'm enjoying.
- Fresh Finds, which are amazing songs, new to me but not released this month, that I occasionally put into the playlist.
*My mix's are usually limited to one track per artist, but for this mix, I'll add multiple tracks If an artist releases more than one single in the month or a single & album.
