Indie folk
A custom folk song, fingerpicked and airy, about one person
Indie folk is the style for people who skip the radio: we ask for indie folk with fingerpicked guitar, airy harmonies and gentle percussion, around 95 beats per minute. It suits outdoorsy, bookish, slightly offbeat stories.

What our indie folk style sounds like
- Fingerpicked acoustic guitar instead of strummed chords.
- Airy, layered harmonies.
- Gentle percussion, sometimes just a soft kick and shaker.
- A little faster than a ballad, with an unpolished warmth.
Stories folk was made for
Nature details shine in folk: the trail name, the season, the weather on the day. Even the smell of the campfire can become a line.
- A couple who met hiking, camping or on a long train ride.
- A friend who moved to the mountains and never looked back.
- A grandparent’s farm, a lake house, a garden.
- A partner who reads in the bath and talks to plants.
- A sibling who taught you every chord you know on a borrowed guitar.
Folk or acoustic pop?
Both use acoustic guitar. Acoustic pop is smoother and more polished, with piano; indie folk is lighter and more textured, with fingerpicking and harmonies. If the person owns a record player or a canoe, folk is probably the answer.
Example brief for a folk song
Trails, plants, weather and a slightly odd habit give a folk song its texture. Someone might type:
- We spent our first date lost on a trail in the Smokies and found a waterfall instead of the parking lot.
- She names every houseplant after a poet.
- We are moving to a cabin with no cell signal next spring, and she cannot wait.
