Folk radio stations

441 stations, live.

Folk music is rooted in songs passed down through communities, telling stories about work, love, places and everyday life. The genre spans traditional music played on acoustic instruments such as fiddles, guitars, banjos, accordions or regional instruments, as well as contemporary singer-songwriters and folk-rock that carry those traditions forward. Because every country has its own heritage, the sound varies widely: one station may focus on Celtic ballads, another on American roots music, Nordic traditions or regional songs in a local language. What connects them is an emphasis on acoustic arrangements, storytelling lyrics and an intimate, unhurried feel.
