The Sound of Michigan Folk

“The Sound of Michigan Folk” captures the spirit of the mitten state’s rich singer-songwriter tradition, weaving together heartfelt lyrics, rustic melodies, and a deep connection to place. Featuring artists like May Erlewine, Joshua Davis, and The Accidentals, this playlist blends newer voices like Aspen Jacobsen and Cold Tone Harvest with scene staples like Seth Bernard, Rachael Davis, and Luke Winslow-King.

Across tracks like “Sweetwater Sea,” “Gravel Roads,” and “The Great Lakes Fishing Trade,” calling cards of Michigan folk—storytelling, a touch of Americana, and strong musical craftsmanship—stand front and center. Whether it’s the nostalgic pull of hometowns, the laid-back sounds of bluegrass and acoustic roots, or reflective ballads about life, love, and change, this collection is steeped in a particular Midwest warmth and authenticity.
