With the success of acts like Iron & Wine, Fleet Foxes, Horse Feathers, and many others, it's comforting to know that American Folk Music is alive and evolving. Much of the contents of the famous family songbook Rise Up Singing has woven its way into the public domain, and sage songwriters like Bob Dylan and Pete Seger are relative household names.
Lucius, a folk duo from Brooklyn fronted by Jesse Wolfe and Holly Laessig, may yet join the ranks of our new folk generation, with their tightly knit harmonies and humble guitar strumming. The ladies are currently poised to debut their album Songs from the Bromley House with two shows in NYC later this month, and if you're in the region, going might be a good idea. With a star-studded production team, there's no telling how far Lucius will take their own brand of folk music.
Listen to "Shenandoah" below off the newly released LP Songs from the Bromley House.
