One is at the 40 Watt Wednesday June 18th and we will play our last set of Folklore originals then… show two is Friday June 20th at the Georgia Theatre and at that show we will be playing The Kinks’ classic “The Village Green Preservation Society”… Wednesday’s show is FREE to all and Friday’s show is FREE if you have an Athfest pass. Please come out and party with us… we’ll be partying down as it might be my last couple of jammers in Athens for awhile. Thanks for all the support and don’t fear… we are still a band and will play together every chance we get… plus, we have a new 14 track CD in the works, so late 2008 or early 2009 will see a new Folklore album entitled “Home Church Road”… I will keep you updated. “God Save The Village Green!” jimmy & Folklore NEWS ~ 3/24/2008 ~ FOLKLORE ON HIATUS FOR APRIL Just back from Folklore tour and SXSW and everything went great. Thanks to everyone who came to see us on the road. Folklore will be on hiatus for April since I will be on tour with Elf Power and Aaron will be on tour with Dark Meat. If anyone wants to come say hi to us on the road we will both be all over the country east and west for the next month or so. Elf Power dates at www.elfpower.com and Dark Meat dates are at www.myspace.com/darkmeats. Please come see us on the road and Folklore will be back in action and playing some shows in the southeast in May and June. In the meantime, people have been writing some really nice things about our album The Ghost Of H.W. Beaverman lately. I just posted a bunch of new reviews in the media section of this site. Have a look and see what people are saying about us. Hope to see you soon, jimmy & Folklore NEWS ~ 1/23/2008 ~ FOLKLORE TOUR SET FOR FEBRUARY / MARCH 2008 Thanks to everyone who came to our CD release show last week at The Georgia Theatre. The show was a huge success and we were really glad to see so many people show up. We had an amazing time, thanks to all in attendance for making it happen. Our next show is February 6th and it’s FREE at Farm 255… if it’s warm enough then hopefully we’ll be playing on the outdoor stage. Hope to see you there if you’re in Athens. Here’s a nice write-up regarding our last show in case anyone want to read about it: Flagpole writes about Folklore If you’re not in Athens, then we’re hitting the road February 28 through March 8 so if we’re coming to a town near you then please come out and say hi.

I miss you and love you, jimmy & Folklore NEWS ~ 1/06/2008 ~ FOLKLORE CD RELEASE AT GEORGIA THEATRE JANUARY 19TH + TOUR PLANS FOR 2008 Happy New Year to all! Folklore is starting off the new year with a bang… bumbleBEAR records is officially releasing our first CD The Ghost Of H.W. Beaverman and in the meantime we’re jumping right into the new year with a whole NEW RECORD entitled Carpenter’s Falls, a full-length CD expanding on the 2006 EP of the same title. This 12 song CD will be available at our CD Release show at the Georgia Theatre in Athens (a 5 band bill put together by Fat Man Touring and featuring Dark Meat, Madeline, Quiet Hooves, Venice Is Sinking, and of course Folklore). This show is SATURDAY JANUARY 19TH and it’s going to be a blast so I hope folks can make it out. We’ll be playing all songs from the new record so it will be a new mix of Folklore jams. See our myspace page to view the poster for this show (I also posted some of the new album songs there) and see the Georgia Theatre website for more info and how to buy advanced tickets. And in other news, we’ll be hitting the road again for a short spell in early March (Feb 28—March 8)… heading to Chicago and back. I just updated the SHOWS page with a few new dates and will update it with more tour dates as they come. Of course, we will have both of our records with us for sale on this tour, but if you’re not in the towns we’re going to and want to order one, you can email me for ordering details (see our SHOP page for more details).
