The Ash Tree - Hannah Wood

Hey folks! I released a spooky folk track this week, just in time for Halloween! I wrote this song after going through a phase of reading ghostly tales about killer botanicals & haunted forests. It's set in the 1600s and follows the story of a woman who is accused of being a witch simply because she is seen collecting branches by an Ash Tree at night, a type of tree that was thought to have magical properties. Would love to know what you think of it! ☺️

Young people

Hello everyone, are there any young people who are in the age range of 18-25 who wholly enjoy folk music? Especially Polish, Moravian, Slovak folk music. I'd love to meet some people similar to my age since I can't find any really haha. Thanks and have a great rest of your day and life!

Got a decent recording of a cover of Pitseleh by Elliott Smith with a country twang. I love the sound so removed from the original.

Darlingside in NYC!

Boston-based indie-folk quartet Darlingside will be at LPR on Wednesday, 11/20, with their “exquisitely arranged, literary minded, baroque folk-pop” (NPR) on full-display! Their latest record, 2023’s Everything is Alive, is a highly-praised exploration into grappling with both constant change and stasis for the 15-year-old band. 

As they made their way through the northeast on their brief fall tour, don’t miss your chance to see Darlingside in NYC! Get your tickets now >>> https://lpr.kydlabs.com/e/EVcb28ead9-1867-4185-adec-a6767db3535b?referral_id=g-e8ccb45e-949f-45a2-907a-7e35f55588f5

Suggestions for Samhain Songs?

Working on my Samhain playlist on Spotify.

What are some good creepy and atmospheric autumnal/October/Halloween/Samhain folk songs?

Maybe some folk horror vibes?

I generally listen to music from the 60s and 70s and a lot of Irish acts, including more modern ones.

Some songs on that playlist are not strictly folk, some are a bit more experimental.

Please do tell me your suggestions!

"Arms for the ayatollah" - Randy Lambert

American folk song by Randy Lambert (sidenote: does anybody understand what he says at the 28 seconds mark? I hear "heir brain plans" but I don't think it makes the most sense)

Good folk recommendations? New to the genre

Hi!! I’ve never really listened to folk music but I’ve been really interested in the genre recently. I’m also doing a project at school and I want to use folk music as my inspiration. The only folk music I’ve ever listened to is classical stuff like old folk songs, and Simon and Garfunkel lol. Any good recommendations or artists/songs I should know about? Tysm in advance!!
