Strawbs

Strawbs are an English progressive folk/rock band that first emerged in the late 1960s, originally rooted in the British folk scene before broadening into more elaborate, keyboard- and harmony-driven prog rock. The group is closely associated with singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Cousins, and over the years they’ve become known for mixing pastoral acoustic textures with punchier rock arrangements and literate, story-minded songwriting.

Across a long career with numerous lineup changes, Strawbs have maintained a devoted following—especially among fans of classic-era UK prog and folk-rock—and continued recording and touring well beyond their early peak. Their catalogue spans everything from intimate folk material to more ambitious, band-driven albums, reflecting a willingness to evolve while keeping their melodic, song-first identity intact.
