Folk Sing

Folk Sing was founded in the early 1960s during the folk music revival in the United States, a period characterized by a resurgence of interest in traditional folk music and socially conscious songwriting. The label aimed to promote both established and emerging folk artists, contributing to the genre's mainstream popularity. Notable artists associated with Folk Sing included influential figures such as Joan Baez and Pete Seeger, who helped shape the folk scene with their poignant lyrics and activism. The label also embraced a diverse range of sub-genres, including bluegrass and protest music, reflecting the broader cultural movements of the time. Throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, Folk Sing continued to release albums that resonated with the counterculture, solidifying its reputation as a key player in the folk music landscape. Although it eventually faded in prominence, Folk Sing's legacy endures through its contributions to the folk genre and its role in promoting socially relevant music.
