Traditional music or Folk music can be easily identified with the grass roots working-class people who created it. The rise of folk music began with performers rooted in authentic American folk tradition like Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. In the 1960s Folk singers such as Joan Baez and Bob Dylan began writing "protest music" and had crossover hits that spoke to their generation. Other examples of this crossover are seen in bands who fused Folk and Rock and developed Folk Rock, the most well known of which include The Byrds, Simon and Garfunkel and The Mamas and the Papas.
There are a few things you should do when you book a folk singer. First, you should listen to audio and watch video samples. This will ensure that you book the best for your special event. Next, be sure to get a contract. Make sure to read this carefully and watch for specifications made by the singer. Last, as you should with anything you purchase, read reviews and get references.
