KINNFOLK—the husband and wife duo of Josh and Julie Kinn—weave octave mandolin, bodhrán (Irish drum), and smooth vocal harmonies into their Celtic folk music from the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From sea shanties and working songs, to trad tunes and Old Time favorites, Kinnfolk’s fresh take on classics blends seamlessly with their original compositions. They share stories as enduring as tartan, spinning yarns steeped in Appalachian charm and enjoying playful banter with the audience. Their shows feel like a kitchen party, where everyone is family, and there’s always room for a dancer.
Kinnfolk is rooted in tradition, lore and ancestry— and began with a story of love and romance in the misty mountains of their home in Roanoke, Virginia. After meeting over a shared passion for folk music at an Irish music session, Josh and Julie found a harmony of the heart. They began making music together, and soon after became kin— and Kinn (with two Ns!). In the heartland of Appalachian music—an American style with Irish and Scottish roots—where the lilt and twang intertwine like a Celtic knot, Kinnfolk has brought this musical lineage full circle.
