  • Annie and Jenny were absolutely perfect for our event.

    My wife and I couldn't have asked for something more perfect than Annie and Jenny. We were determined to do a sing a long of folk songs and they embraced the assignment, learned the songs they didn't already know and got our group of 40+ people singing their hearts out. Their personalities were very much what we were looking for ....low key but with beautiful voices and an ease about them that very much made everyone feel very comfortable. We can't wait to find another occasion to invite them to our party.

Folk Singers in New York City, NY

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. Talk to people in the area and previous clients about the performer and get feedback. Search for Folk Singers in New York City, New York above.
