This week’s set of The Front Porch serves as an introduction to the freak side of folk. Divergent from popular understanding, freak folk implements warping over those classic acoustic sounds. Another binding element, seen in the 60s movement and today is an intentionally out of tune vocalist, either employing speak-sing or offering ethereal high pitched undulation. Sit back and unwind this every Sunday from 4-6pm, here on the Front Porch with me, Junebug- I’ll leave the light on.
