The documentary features various artists from across the United States

The American folk music scene is the subject of a new PBS documentary series called “American Folk.” The series, which premiered on January 5, 2018, features various artists from across the United States who are keeping the folk music tradition alive.

Folk music has its roots in the music of the people who settled in the United States. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, folk music was passed down from generation to generation by oral tradition. With the rise of recording technologies in the 20th century, folk music began to be recorded and disseminated more widely.

The artists featured in “American Folk” come from a variety of backgrounds and regions of the country. They perform a wide range of folk music styles, including traditional ballads, blues, country, bluegrass, and gospel.

The documentary series was directed by John Henry Faulkner and produced by Marjorie Mazia Schweitzer. It is available to stream online at PBS.org.
