Familiar Folk is an enigmatic collective known for their emotive and intricate instrumental renditions of popular songs. Their body of work, heavily influenced by folk sensibilities and a flair for the acoustic, repackages mainstream hits into reflective and often soothing instrumental pieces, offering listeners a new avenue to appreciate familiar tunes. Their talent for deconstructing complex pop, rock, and R&B melodies, and reconstructing them with authentic folk instrumentation, has garnered them a dedicated following among fans of acoustic and instrumental music.

With recent releases like the hauntingly beautiful "Thousand Miles (Instrumental)" and the spirited "Use Somebody (Instrumental)", Familiar Folk has proven their prowess in adapting contemporary music with a traditional twist. Their covers, including a folk-inspired take on Coldplay's "The Scientist" and a stripped-down version of "Teardrops On My Guitar", showcase their ability to convey the emotional depth of lyrics without words. This versatility in both selection and performance demonstrates why Familiar Folk has become a beloved act in the instrumental and folk music scene, taking listeners on a journey that transcends genres and language.
