2016 Folks addition: The Accidentals

[BluegrassBrian]

These guys are going to be such a fun addition to the Folks Fest Sunday afternoon...

The Accidentals
www.moreaccidentals.com
(performing on Sunday, August 21)

From 2012-2014, The Accidentals recorded three original albums, were guest artists on fifteen others, scored two films, and landed song placements in commercials, documentaries, and music compilations while playing over a seven hundred live shows. THEN they graduated high school.

I had a chance to catch the young Michigan trio last winter, and I was blown away - energy, charisma, chops, songs, harmonies, and a very fresh take on folk-rock with cleverly original ideas around every corner of their set.  And lots of people are noticing: Billboard's Breakout Band at SXSW 2015; Winner of WYCE's Album of the Year 2015; this is a band to watch!

Here's their latest single, "Parking Lot": www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN95KcT_EKw

Just saw The Accidentals last night in Palmer Lake (they're playing Swallow Hill tonight - Sat. June 25). A remarkable band. Savannah turns 21 in a few days, Kate doesn't even turn 21 until next year, and they're working on their third album (not counting this year's EP). Do NOT miss them on Sunday. Thanks for bringing them to FF!
