Acoustic Roots: The Folk Road Show |
    |
On Friday 14 April, The Folk Road Show are a guest at De Kargadoor for a new radio recording of Acoustic Roots.The Folk Road Show is an international musical collective, consisting of five singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists from New Zealand, Canada and the Netherlands. Each member contributes to the repertoire with their writing, and they take turns in singing the lead vocals. They alternate between the guitar, banjo, mandolin, trombone and the drums. Their harmonies are exceptionally strong and they have been compared with Crosby, Stills and Nash. 
Epic trombone solos The five give an eclectic, varied life show, both intimate and loud, from whispered harmonies to indie-rock and completed with epic trombone solos. The result is an enchanting sound and captivating show, that simply exudes joy. Based on American road shows and groups like The Highwaymen and The Traveling Wilburys, the band started by building on the dream of friends Benjamin James Caldwell (NZ) and Olaf Caarls (NL), but didn't take shape until Canadian folk/pop singer Dominique Fricot and Dutch songwriter Pieter van Vliet joined the two. This led to a European tour in 2014, a Canadian and another European tour in 2015, and to recording their debut album in Lethbridge, Alberta. This album was released in August of 2016 by the American label Classic Waxxx Records. The members of The Folk Road Show are:
