Follywren

Follywren - Electric old time. Appalachian folk melodies meet jangly electric guitar tones. Playing trad & original material with a low-tech inspired approach, Follywren make space for flurry’s of drums and driving bass to meld with the golden uplifting warmth of a hypnotising melody. Always relishing in the feeling of the tune sounding so tantalisingly sweet you just have to play it over and over.

‘Follywren is a project headed by Kai Carter who also has Kai Carter’s Old-Time Trio playing traditional melodies. Follywren tastefully builds on the foundations of Old-Time music with the influences of psychedelic jazz, colourful textures and snatches of World music. With Ten Electric String Band Melodies, you get 26 minutes of refreshment for your ears and exercises for your dancing feet: ten tracks with five originals in Snow Day (nicely crooked).’ Jan Howard - Friends of American Old Time Music and Dance
