About the Show
Foolkiller Folk
The Foolkiller Folk collective explores the storytelling, cultural, and protest power of folk music from as far back as the Child Ballads through as current as released today.

Mark and Val continue our exploration of the 2016 Folk Alliance Conference. Today we bring you what we saw at the Thursday night private showcases – enough of each performer for you to decide whether you’d like to hear more. You’ll be listening to: Carie Elkin, Rosie & the Riveters, Hannah Shira Naiman, WOR, Gentle Good, (KKFI’s own) Mikal Shapiro, Lowest Pair, Roe Family Singers, Dave Gunning, April Vetch, Kerr Fagan Harbon, Nancy Kerr & James Fagan, and Lowest Pair with a brief interlude to bring you the songs ‘Little Boxes’, ‘Charlie the Midnight Marauder’ and ‘Pink Houses’ because Mark was messing around in the music collection and discovered that was a fun set.
