Online Folk Festival is a tribute to
folk and related music that consists of two components:
Festival Radio,
freeform Internet folk radio for the masses, is a looped, streaming
Internet-only folk radio station hosted on www.live365.com. I
have 40+hours worth of tunes in rotation at any one time and update
a couple
times a week.
FolkBlog is the companion to Festival Radio, where I discuss
music added to the station, post folk video links and talk about
news from the folk music world.
What you'll hear on Festival Radio's freeform thrill ride of musical discovery:
Traditional folk
Folk/rock
Celtic
Singer/songwriter
Folk/pop
Cajun/zydeco
Gospel,
Country
Folk music from around
the world
Virtuoso instrumentals on
fiddle, accordion, banjo and guitar from some of the world's
top players
Acoustic blues
Bluegrass/old-time
A wide variety of
independent artists who have fallen through the cracks in our
corporate megahit culture
Other cool music that may
transcend such easy categorization
More must-have information than you
can shake a stick at:
Festival Christmas, the Festival Radio holiday gift to the world, is
now back on the air for everyone. More freeform folky Christmas
music for the masses!
