Post Author: Impose Automaton

There are so many incredible bands leading the new wave of folk and americana music and we want to share them with you all. Then you can say you knew them before your friends did. 😎

1. “Go Back” by Darlingside
If the vocal harmonies in this song don’t immediately move you- you might already be dead.
2. “San Antone” by The Ghost Of Paul Revere
Fresh off the road with Jamestown Revival- Ghost is one of the hardest working bands out there now and songs like this is why people are falling in love with them.
3. “Busted” by The Dustbowl Revival
Liz Beebe voice is a force to be reckoned with and this track highlights that along with some of the most talented musicians out there.
4. “Lady Brain” by The Harmaleighs
One of the standout songs from their new release Hiraeth. This song speaks for itself.
5. “Hard Life” by Aaron Lee Tasjan
One of the most creative artists on this list. This song is as clever as it is catchy.
6. “California” by Jamestown Revival
Your head starts moving from start to finish. This song is everything right about the new direction of americana music.
7. “Hey, to Clear the Air” by These Wild Plains
From the opening riff to the final note this song will take you somewhere. When I think New England americana my mind immediately goes to this song.
8. “3:59am” by John Moreland
Some folks songs you end up listening to on repeat 10 times. This song is one of those.
9. “Cycling Song” by Hannah Daman
Maybe there’s no such thing as a perfect song. But if there is- Cycling Song just might be it.
