about

Folklore's first album tells the story of an old man and his questionable past of mystery and hoax which has made him a legend in his small hometown in upstate New York. Recorded in Athens GA with each song cast like a play and sung by a different singer, these ghost stories performed as songs received critical praise and the limited release sold out quickly.
