All About Folk Music
efolkMusic has a mission, to get more folk music into more ears, and we're open 24-7 to help you find great folk, bluegrass, Americana, country,Celtic, old-time, traditional, roots and blues music. We've been using the border-busting power of the folk music mp3 for TEN YEARS now, getting the music out via our website and outreach activities.
No empty cowboy hats here, browse our artist pages, or the "Listen & Download" areas for thousands of full-length previews, get in "high touch" with some real music.
Songwriting is Alive and Well, Truly!
This little chart comes from overthinkingit.com, and shows peak oil production in the US about 1965, charted against Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All TIme"; this is not just rock, we're talking great songs (#1 is Bob Dylan Like a Rolling Stone, FYI). You can't dispute the oil numbers, but it's IMPOSSIBLE that songwriting quality declined as pictured- and ignores some of the best songs ever written, just because nobody's heard them??? What did they do, find a hundred boomers and take their word for it??
We think there are songs on efolkMusic that could be in this list, songs that are overlooked for all the wrong reasons - browse our featured songs and artists, subscribe to the popular "Song of the Week" RSS feed (free), have a listen to our jukebox/radio station WEFM, good song writing is alive and well.

We've always been interested in leveraging the power of the internet to get around the blockage posed by McMedia, bringing you the good music with our MP3 downloads, RSS feeds and with our "WEFM Radio" feature; now we'd like to turn WEFM into a full-blown streaming radio service (it's currently more of a "jukebox" than a real station), with live as well as pre-recorded shows, interviews, concert broadcasts and more. New technology is our friend here, as it is now possible to have live DJs from around the world broadcasting shows through our server.
Will you help us build this service? Our bean-counters suggest we could get equipment, software and a year's worth of bandwidth for about $2000, so let's get busy- it's simple, we put up a thermometer, see, and then raise money until it erupts: Please consider a tax-deductible membership or donation to our 501(c)(3) nonprofit- this can be a great way of getting the good music into more ears, and that is, after all, what we are about.
New from The Red Clay Ramblers: "Old North State"
The Ramblers pay tribute to the great state of North Carolina in a new collection of southern songs and Tar Heel tunes, subtly titled Old North State. The boys cover the bases from Murphy to Manteo, with fiddle tunes, rare "old" songs, plus "new" classics and a suite for string band and orchestra, if you can believe it. Download the free sheet music to the NC state Toast, give yourself something to sing and play in your parlour after supper!
efolkMusic is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting folk music and musicians, offering folk music mp3s and information about folk music, bluegrass, Celtic, Traditional, Americana, country, roots and blues music, plus folk festival and folk radio databases, folk music video library and much more!
