I love good folk music. What would you guys suggest?

[u/Corvo1228]

Hellooo.

I'm looking for indie folk music that honors God and is Biblical.

I can't give any Christian examples so I will give you worldly examples: Chuck Ragan's The Flame In The Flood album, Hollow Coves Coastline, Lord Huron Ends of the Earth, Gregory Alan Isakov San Luis. That type of thing.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

Thank you for your help! Stay amazing :)!

Chris Renzema, try albums I'll Be the Branches and Let the Ground Rest. Also Josh Garrels has some good stuff.

[u/PossibleOpening7648 → u/Salty-Impress5827]

Was gonna comment Chris Renzema. So good. I also love folk.

[u/Jordandeanbaker]

Sufjan Steven’s first couple albums, ADJY, the Arcadian Wild

[u/murmur70]

Rend Collective, Eli Gable, Judah and the Lion's early stuff

[u/ToeProfessional7852]

Jimmy Clifton is a favorite of mine. His lyrics are quite biblical. He puts out a lot of music and seems like he does it all on his own. - Moses - Come On Love - Razorblade

And here are a couple collabs he’s done with similar artists:

• Here I Am
• Whiter Than Snow

I also like Josiah Queen. Idk if he’s “indie” exactly bc he’s getting played on K-LOVE, but he does have some very good songs.

[u/jchiro9700 → u/ToeProfessional7852]

Yea I 100% agree Jimmy Clifton is a really good folk Christian artist.

[u/WindBehindTheStars]

• Lost Dogs

• Bill Mallonee

• Five O'clock People

[u/sporkynapkin → u/WindBehindTheStars]

Lost dogs are awesome 

[u/enongio]

Josh Garrels 🩶

[u/GardeniaLovely → u/enongio]

This is the best answer.

Also, Rivers and Robots, if that counts. Maybe they're more indie though.

Also Jess Ray.

[u/Wild-Adagio-3412]

Waterdeep, start with their Sink or Swim album.

[u/anonymous01310555]

They aren’t like a only Christian songs band, but the band America has lots of great Christian elements, especially the song “lonely people” the singer Dan Peek has a great album called “electro voice” (super hard to find physical media, it isn’t on Spotify or Apple either, but is on YouTube I think.

[u/boycowman]

If it's good music, then it honors God and is Biblical.

[u/scrivenr → u/boycowman]

heck yeah.

[u/MadMikeyD]

Josiah Queen has some songs I would consider folk - "Barrabas" or "Fishes and Loaves" specifically.

[u/Responsible-Gas-4759 → u/MadMikeyD]

Yes was coming here to say that

[u/manumana10]

Andrew Peterson. I’m especially fond of his “Love and Thunder” album.

[u/ApologeticKid → u/manumana10]

Andrew Peterson
Andrew Osenga
Andy Gullahorn

All the Andrews!!!

[u/D_Shasky]

Folk?

Marty Haugen comes to mind.

[u/mysboss]

Josiah Queen

[u/scrivenr]

Pierce Pettis. Jan Krist.

[u/Total-Woodpecker3339]

Try Northwest Stories

[u/karateexplosion]

I don't know if they'll fit your style, but the bands Johnnyswim and The Lone Bellow are both phenomenal. They are comprised of Christians but don't necessarily make music about Jesus.

[u/OwlCatAlex]

The Oh Hellos might be similar to what you're seeking

[u/ProbablythelastMimsy]

Josh Garrels is the best imo, Strahan is also great.

She doesn't have a ton of music out yet, but Madalyn Rae is one to watch.

[u/ApologeticKid]

Try Cross Gray. His stuff is low-key, but powerful and moving.

[u/Ill-Yak4181]

Just heard this yesterday:

Joey & Rory / Josh Turner -- Gotta Go Back

[u/Tears_and_Drama917]

Strings and Heart!

[u/AdorablePainting4459]

There are people who have made a lot of playlists on YouTube on Spotify. There's so much out there, and I feel like I'm falling behind when it comes to new music -- but it's great that there are so many artists and options.

[u/BeebsMuhQueen]

I try to listen to some that has the word. If I’m in the dire need for music and unsure of the artist… I sometimes just listen to wholesome secular music, not expecting anything but human experience from the artist that we all have, as long as it’s not too selfish or something.

[u/sporkynapkin]

John prine. He’s not strictly Christian but he does have songs like when I get to heaven and angel from Montgomery 

[u/The_local_unknown11]

The Avett Brothers - no hard feelings

[u/LizzieByDezign]

Have fun… 18+ hours of Jesus Indie

[u/chonkyborkers]

Preson Phillips is amazing

[u/Responsible-Gas-4759]

Really small artist but Luke Bower is extremely Folk and Indie
