about

Folklore's Home Church Road, presents 13 songs telling the epic story of a future Earth after human extinction and features performances by all of the Athens cast as well as the Philadelphia players. In this story, only a few species of mammals, birds, lizards, and bugs remain. They peacefully coexist on Earth until the day they discover, alive but buried in the ground, a human priest. This is Loki. Loki is a shape-shifter and his friendly manipulations and seductions will ensure the rebirth of the large carnivorous beasts and dinosaurs that once roamed the Earth. Musically, it is a landscape that does not commit to one immediate style, but rather, it is orchestrated in whichever direction the song/story goes. Home Church Road is a soundtrack to an epic narrative with woodwinds, brass horns, strings, didgeridoo, and much more.
