Folk bands?

[Persephone Vaeros]

I'm wondering how many of you here listen to things like Frightened Rabbit, Fleet Foxes, First Aid Kit, etc. Discuss! I adore all of them. They're really the only folk bands I know off hand, though. Anyone have thoughts or suggestions?

The Civil Wars is usually what I listen to when I'm wanting some folk. You might like them.

Fleet Foxes is the only one of those I've even heard of.

I do like and listen to them, though. Most of my favorite folk bands are older British ones like Pentangle, The John Renbourn Group, Steeleye Span, etc. Oh and Gryphon, although I mainly love their first album where they were purely folk.

Vienna Teng is an unrecognized genius.

I don't know if Alex Winston counts, but I love her. Here's her cover of "The Cave."

The Milk Carton Kids are one of my favorites.
