A.T. and Lauren Cason {Songs of the Folk} 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.
Recently back from an impressive two-year stint living, recording, and touring throughout England - performing on stages from The Glasshouse ICM with The Wandering Hearts to solo shows at Cambridge Folk Club and Peggy Seeger's Song Loft - Songs of the Folk is happy to be back sharing their original songs and stories with audiences throughout the Southeast and beyond. 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
