Guitar Rootings

Ume gives you what your ears are hungry for - solid upbeat sound with awesome natural vocals that make that rock'n noise that makes you want to dance and sing all over.

Music is my Weapon
The Bright Light Social Hour mixes folk, blues and indie in a bowl of awesome and knows how to pour on the jam. With all those musical weapons, this band can save the world.

 

Folk Yeah!  

Hayes Carl serves up a delicious amount of folk that'll make you grab that jug of whiskey and scream FOLK YEAH!

Super Ride

Listening to Mystery Skulls not only makes our mouth water, but makes us feel like we have enough power and energy to ride the Super Ride

Tunes from the Big Folkin Festival

This Saturday brings with it the Big Folkin Festival at Deep Ellum's Prophet Bar. With over 30 incredible folk bands in attendance, it'll be hard to stop that foot stomping and clapping.

To get you ready for Saturday, we pulled together a couple videos of some of the bands from the interwebverse for your enjoyment.

We'll see you in the Wagon at the Big Folkin Festival. Come by and say hi + shop the Wagon, then go dance until they kick you out!
