Folk Music Notebook

Folk Music Notebook is a folk music internet station broadcasting the rich and diverse tradition of American and international folk music — from Appalachian mountain music and Irish ballads to Delta blues, protest songs, and the contemporary singer-songwriters carrying the acoustic tradition into the present day. Folk music's defining characteristic is its connection to community, tradition, and human experience: these are songs that have been passed down through generations, adapted and reinterpreted by each new voice that encounters them, and continuously renewed by artists who believe that music should tell true stories about real human lives. Folk Music Notebook serves as a curated archive and discovery platform, presenting folk music in the spirit of a carefully maintained notebook — organized, thoughtful, and full of entries worth returning to. Programming ranges from the foundational recordings of the American folk revival to contemporary acoustic artists who have absorbed those influences and transformed them into something new. For listeners who appreciate roots music, acoustic instruments, skilled songwriting, and the kind of authenticity that commercial radio rarely delivers, Folk Music Notebook provides an endlessly rewarding listening experience. The station streams online continuously, serving folk music devotees worldwide who want a dedicated home for the genre's rich and constantly evolving tradition.
