Folk
Folk music is where songs live closest to people. Passed along, reshaped, and remembered, it carries stories of place, work, love, and change. Often simple in form, it leaves room for meaning to grow with each voice that sings it. Whether old or newly written, folk feels shared—like something that belongs to everyone and no one at the same time.
