KINNFOLK – return to Charleston as part of their "Star Above the Mountain," third album release tour. The husband and wife duo of Josh and Julie Kinn have previously played at the Celtic Calling Gathering and a Christmas FOOTMAD Concert.
Prepare to be entranced by the sounds of octave mandolin, bodhrán (Irish drum), and their smooth vocal harmonies in Celtic folk music from the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From sea shanties and working songs, to trad tunes and Old Time favorites, Kinnfolk’s fresh take on classics blends seamlessly with their original compositions. They share stories as enduring as tartan, spinning yarns steeped in Appalachian charm and enjoying playful banter with the audience. Their shows feel like a kitchen party, where everyone is family, and there’s always room for a dancer.
Since forming Kinnfolk in late 2018, the pair have played at festivals and listening rooms with a quickly growing following across Canada and the United States. In 2023 Kinnfolk won the Robinson Emerging Artist Showcase, earning them a Main Stage appearance at Canada’s premiere Celtic event, the Goderich Celtic Roots Festival. They have been featured on the cover of the largest traditional music magazine in the world — Irish Music Magazine — and named one of the top Celtic folk bands to watch in 2025 by The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. In 2022, Kinnfolk received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and the City of Roanoke to create a body of work exploring the history, geography, and folk legends of their town. The resulting project became "Star Above the Mountain," their third album, which was released on February 28, 2025.
Admission: $15 on the door.
