Folk Is People

Genre-bending ensemble Folk is People infuses a string driven, roughly
edged brand of Americana with elements of folk, bluegrass, and old
country, enveloping it all in a distinctive indie-rock sound. Led by
singer-songwriter Stacey Bennett––an artist who has buried her
Appalachian roots in the storied swamp ash scene of Florida––the band
highlights the rich musical ethos of the past centuries. Bennett’s collection
is a diary of sorts, each song an entry reaching deep into the spirit, and
longing for shared connection. Poetic and honest, her catalog is an array of
existential musings threaded with hope. Folk is People has performed
across the U.S., played festivals including SxSW, and has supported
nationally touring acts such as John Paul White (The Civil Wars), Shovels
and Rope, and Justin Townes Earle.
