Years ago, before MP3 players and video games, people used to get together with family and friends to make music. Gathered around the fireplace or sitting on the front porch, people of all ages would pull out instruments and sing traditional songs that had been passed from generation to generation.

This is the very essence of folk music, and its legacy continues on Folk Playground.In the 1950s and 60s, many traditional folk songs found renewed life and meaning for a new generation of performers and audiences. Many of the people who sing on Folk Playground grew up listening to these songs, and as adults, have continued the folk music tradition by performing their own versions of classic songs and by writing new ones.

Erib Bibb, Elizabeth Mitchell, Jon Gailmor, Victor Johnson and Trout Fishing in America have devoted their careers to performing folk songs for children and adults. While several musicians on Folk Playground have taken different routes to the folk scene. Dan Zanes, Laurie Berkner, Justin Roberts and Brady Rymer traveled rock and roll roads before taking a turn down the path of kids’ and folk music. Zoe Lewis has flown all over the world before landing in Massachusetts. Still others are even more unlikely wanderers onto the scene: Retro pioneer Leon Redbone reaches back into time for his version of "Polly WollyDoodle" and Michelle Shocked pulls a few strings to bring us her cover of "Got No Strings".
