Mr. Folxlide

Blues meets balfolk. Big time.

Ain't but one kind of blues... and it's folk

Mr. Folxlide is the ultimate balfolk - blues crossover. European folk dance music with the raw sound of American cigar box guitars. And old time blues adapted for balfolk dancing. Road tested at festivals all around Europe.

Why the hell balfolk on cigar box guitar?

Because everyone can have the blues. Black and white people alike, no matter what their nationality is. And all folk music is about love and death anyway. Cigar box guitars are also tuned in an open chord, pretty much the same way as bagpipe or hurdy-gurdy. Drone, ostinato and simple riffs are something we can find in folk music all around the globe, if we look deep enough. It was just about time to pick all that up and use it. It came just naturally.
