Writing your brief

Getting the most from folk and Americana

Handmade and wordy

Folk and Americana is singer-songwriter music: acoustic, intimate, wordy and warm. It leaves plenty of room for storytelling, so verses can hold more detail than in a pop song. It feels honest, handmade and personal, the closest thing to a letter set to music.

Long stories and quiet thank-yous

It suits songs for grandparents, dads, friendships, memorials and anniversaries that tell a long story. It also works for apologies and just-because songs, because the quiet arrangement keeps attention on the words. It is a good pick when you have more to say than a chorus can hold.

Give us more story than usual

Give us more story than usual: a sequence of events, places and characters. Folk can handle names, dates and small details. Tell us if you want harmonica, banjo or a sparser sound, and describe the mood you are after. Chronological notes make our job easier.

Questions

Folk & Americana songs: quick answers.

More in the full FAQ.

What is the difference between folk and country?

Both tell stories, but folk is usually sparser and more intimate, while country often has steel guitar, a stronger beat and a polished chorus. Choose folk if you want the words to lead, and country if you want more drive.

Can a folk song tell a whole life story?

Folk is well suited to it. Give us the key chapters in order, such as where they grew up, important relationships and turning points, and we will write verses that move through them. Prioritize the details that matter most to keep it focused.
