School of Rock Lynnwood presents: Folk Rock

Folk Rock is a wide umbrella that encompasses protest songs of the 1960s, laid-back

tunes of the 1970s, confessional ballads of the 1980s and '90s, melodic “indie-folk”

anthems of the 2000s, and much more. The hallmarks of the Folk Rock sound are

intricate guitar playing, evocative lyrics, vocal harmonies, and nods to early 20th-century

music forms including Gospel, Appalachian Folk, Country, Blues, and Bluegrass. Folk

music influences were an integral part of the evolving Rock scene of the 1960s, with

Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, The Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival,

and The Mamas and The Papas all finding success.
