About Folk On...

Folk On Records is not a record company in the traditional sense. It is not a company designed to make money, but it is a small, but growing community of songwriters and performers who work together to take on the challenges of getting our music heard. The Folk On collective sees music in its original form, as a way of communication. To us, "folk" is not a specific and exclusive genre, but refers to people, folks, and their connection to music. We share information about performance opportunities, recording, copyright, and even writing so that we can all grow in our musical capabilities. Folk On!

Folk On the Air...
WMFO 91.5 FM Radio Songwriters' Showcase

As I have jumped deeper into the folk music scene in Boston and Portland, I found that there are tons of incredible musicians who are unsigned and uneheard. In 2005 I started Folk On Records "On the Air" as a way to play these writer's work on the air right next to the works of their "discovered" and established counterparts. In addition to playing recordings by these artists from the Greater Boston area, I now feature live guest performances on the show.

Our past performances include Danielle Miraglia, Dan Gonzalez, Chris Elliott, Lisa Austin, Jaded Mandolin, Ezra Furman, Justine McDonald of Talaria, Jahn Sood, Mary Ukelady, Dan Cloutier, Geoff Brown, Mark Whittaker, Andrew Rusli, The Mule, Elijah Wyman.

Upcoming performances include: Emilia Dahlin, Hugh McGowan, Roy Davis, Caleb Aronson, Steven Bacon, John Elliott and more!

Wednesday 10am-NOON, 91.5FM Medford, MA and www.wmfo.org
