Description

Well-crafted music and lyrics, flawless harmonies, intricate instrumentation, and original storytelling
A.T. and Lauren Cason are lifelong musicians who perform original American folk and blues songs that harken back to the roots music of the American South as well as the 1960s Folk Revival artists of NYC’s Greenwich Village. It’s Simon & Garfunkel mixed with early Dylan, with a touch of Leonard Cohen and a helping of true Piedmont blues fingerstyle guitar from North Carolina.

Just back from an impressive two-year stint living, recording, and touring throughout England, Songs of the Folk is happy to be sharing their original songs and stories with audiences throughout the Southeast. Known for impressive fingerstyle guitar playing as well as entrancing harmonies and warm stage presence, the duo thrives in listening room venues where audiences leave feeling like an old friend of the Casons and a part of Songs of the Folk.

Sometimes you meet people whose passion for storytelling is so infectious, it fills the entire room. That’s exactly what happened when I first encountered Songs of the Folk. They weren’t just performing their unique and authentic American folk and country blues-inspired music; they were weaving tales of inspiration, tradition, culture, and personal experiences, sharing the heart behind every song, and utterly captivating everyone there. – Dan Baker, Curious Spirit, UK

“Some of the best lyrics I’ve heard live – and I’ve heard Bob Dylan.” – Barry Hopwood, proprietor of Barry’s Blues Barn, UK
