About Me

if you tune in to 97.2FM or log in to www.radioreverb.com on a Wednesday or Sunday you can be wowed and wooed by Simple Folk, a weekly radio show presented by a small rag-tag group of friends, friends with a common love of music with folk and country sensabilies. We take it in turn to play records, air sessions, gig 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 such as anti-folk, blue-grass, alt-country, appellation, honky-tonk, country-rock, indie-twee, americana...along with outsider music, music that doesn't really fit in to any scene, but we simply want to share with the world ............................................................ ....................... ............................................................ ....................... Over the last four years we've been humbled by such prestigious artists as Jeff and Jack Lewis, Great Lake Swimmers, Akron/Family, the Fence Collectives King Creosote, James Yorkston, UNPOC and Things In Herds...The Diamond Family Archive, Stanley Brinks (Andre Herman Dune), Kimya Dawson, The Handsome Family, Saint Eskimo (Viking Moses / Golden Ghost), Lisa Li-Lund (Herman Dune),The Broken Family Band, P.G.Six, The Great Park, Phosphorescent, Uni And Her Ukelele, George Thomas and the Owls, 30lbs Of Bone, Liz Green, Toby Goodshank, Charlie Parr, Lach, The Bobby McGee's, Strand of Oaks, King and the Olive Fields, Jane Bartholomew, Chris Maher, Joe Gideon And The Shark and Birdengine. you really should click some of their friend links to hear them in all their glory. ............................................................ ....................... ............................................................ ....................... in the pipeline are sessions by some amazing people such as Iron & Wine, Josh T.
