Folk means the people.
Not a genre. You. Your neighbors, your kids, the person who grows your food and the one who plays guitar on their porch.

This land was a school once. In the seventies there were teenagers out here with their hands in the dirt, farming, building things, learning by doing it. We found their scrapbook in a drawer.
Then it went quiet for a long while. Ask around town and people know Boulder Creek by name. Their uncle worked here. They mowed these lawns as a kid. Almost none of them have set foot on it since.
On the first Saturday in October, the gate opens.
One field. A stage built out of a farm trailer. Local players, local makers, food cooked over fire, and kids running loose in a place built for exactly that. No corporate anything. Whoever shows up is what it turns out to be.
That is the whole idea. A hundred years from now somebody should still be doing this here, and this is the year it starts.
