The Folly Brothers
Green Note Ltd, Green Note, NW1 7AN , [Venue Details]Warwickshire-based bluegrass band THE FOLLY BROTHERS began when brothers Mark and Jonny Roden started playing in pubs and clubs in and around their stomping ground, Leamington Spa.
Inspired by outlaw country legends such as Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, their blend of rollicking bluegrass and introspective lyrics was a huge success in their hometown. Double bass player Wes Stanton soon joined the band and they enjoyed success as a trio, going down a storm on the festival circuit with slots at Black Deer and renowned folk venue The Green Note.
In 2016 the band released their debut album, Bridge 101, named after the bridge near their father’s pub where they first began playing together. A brutally honest blend of smoking hot bluegrass and Americana, the album delves into traditional outlaw country music with an unmistakably modern twang.
But it’s their live performance that sets this band apart from the rest. They are renowned for whipping up a frenzy at every gig they play, often moving into the crowd to play songs with the audience dancing around them. Fierce banjo chops and rapid slap-double-bass are the backdrop for Mark and Jonny’s harmonies, while newest member Alfie Amadeus plays melodic solos on mandolin or dobro.
