Join us in this enchanting episode as we dive into the world of Kinnfolk, a captivating Celtic folk duo hailing from Roanoke, Virginia. Comprised of the dynamic husband-and-wife team Josh Kinn, who masterfully plays the octave mandolin and guitar while lending his rich vocals, and Julie Kinn, who brings the rhythmic beat of the bodhran and her melodic harmonies to life, this interview explores their unique musical journey. We'll discuss their inspirations, creative process, and the magic that happens when they blend their voices and instruments to create heartfelt tunes that resonate with audiences far and wide. Tune in for an intimate look at their art and the cultural roots that inspire their sound!
