The Folksoul Band
The Folksoul Band creates new music from old traditions, bringing together horns, guitar, piano, accordion, rhythm, and vocals in a high-spirited blend made for celebration and dancing.
Rooted in the living musical traditions of New Orleans and Mardi Gras, the band draws from jazz, rock ’n’ roll, Motown, soul, and R&B to create its distinctive American Folksoul sound. Their lively, organic performances have become a familiar part of celebrations throughout the Monadnock Region, including Peterborough’s Children and the Arts Festival and the band’s own Folksoul Music Festival.

Modern Fools
New Hampshire quartet Modern Fools describes its sound as “seriously retro, cosmic Americana,” blending the country rock influences of Gram Parsons with thoughtful songwriting, rich harmonies, and a distinctly modern take on dream country.
Formed in 2019, Modern Fools has continued to develop its sound while sharing stages with artists including Steve Earle, Ryan Montbleau, and Bonnie “Prince” Billy. Their 2020 debut album, SEER, introduced the band’s cosmic Americana style, followed by Strange Offering in 2023, an album that pairs themes of loss and existential uncertainty with an unexpectedly upbeat, comforting sound.
