“Charles Seeger, Pete’s dad, used to say you measured a country by the number of people who made music, who played and sang. We need to get back to that, to a culture where people make music for joy, not for money.” -- Dave Marsh, Music Critic, in FOLK

Three singer-songwriters, at dramatically different stages in their careers, navigate the thriving subculture of American folk music. FOLK follows twenty-something Raina Rose, thirty-something Hilary Claire Adamson and sixty-something Dirk Hamilton as they confront relationship and financial challenges in their own lives while struggling to be heard in a quirky, colorful world of small town house concerts, jammed 24/7 folk conferences, and tiny bars and festivals set well back along the blue highways of America. The days when Guthrie and Dylan wrote the songs that changed America may be behind us, but Raina, Hilary and Dirk prove through their own lives and songs that folk musicians today still amplify the themes that resonate through our lives and across our cultural landscape -- re-defining success in the face of failure, finding wholeness in an increasingly fragmented world, and magnifying our humanity during times that would tear us apart.
