All things folk, country, Americana, and blues at Folk and Tumble
Established in 2010, Folk and Tumble reviews the latest folk, country, Americana, and blues records and interviews the writers and players behind the music.
Caitlin Jemma grew up to the sound of classic country songs, but on 'True Meaning', the influences draw from Americana, Motown, and more contemporary sounds.
'On Ether and Air' is the fourth record in John Blek's "Catharsis Project". The songwriter will perform an intimate show in Belfast's American Bar on 10th September 2021.
'Tricks Of The Trade' is the new album from songwriter Malcolm Holcombe, proving he is an artist at the top of his game, and most definitely the real deal.

Sarah-Jane Summers and Juhani Silvola are a Scots-Finnish duo with an ear for the traditional sounds of their homelands, and the talent to make it modern.
'The Day The Earth Stood Still' is Willie Nile's fifth full-length record in as many years. Recorded during the COVID pandemic, it's filled with stark imagery but a lot of hope.
The Fruitful Fells – Jez Hellard and the Djukella Orchestra
World travelled, and with an ear for an influence, Jez Hellard and the Djukella Orchestra have released 'The Fruitful Fells', an ode to folk, old and new.
With almost 50 years in the business, Los Lobos is a band steeped in traditions. On 'Native Sons', they pay tribute to an array of artists from Los Angeles.
