Announcing the first of two new showcases we’re hosting…

We are delighted to welcome Walter Kocays to London on July 28th for a free show at in London.

Walter’s unique voice and fearless delivery draw from inspirations as diverse as Jeff Buckley and Kae Tempest.

Originally from Stoke-On-Trent, this Manchester based artist has been going from strength to strength, with performances at this year’s Glastonbury and an online following drawn by his candid, no-nonsense lyricism, lush sonic soundscapes and vehement poetic conviction.

Walter will be joined by his band and support for the evening will come via our very own and most exceptional .dakota_music

Folk Boy Records is delighted to announce the signing of Alt-folk Indie-soul phenom Leo Baby.

Leo caught our attention with his most recent single ‘Back To Sleep’ that infuses folk-bred intimacy with a genre spanning breadth of Latin, Gypsy and Neo-soul influences.

The results are, to our mind, impeccably accustomed to this Summer season. We’ve since come to discover, that the very sunlight that oozes from this work also emanates from every endeavour undertaken by this burgeoning and irreverent star.

With multiple festival performances already under his belt and support slots confirmed with one of the UK’s most cherished artists, it really feels like the World is ready to shine on Leo with the same luminosity that he does the World.

This is one for the long Summer days, sure, but Folk Boy Records is honoured to now represent and stand by Leo throughout which ever season his spirit moves.

Consider this the announcement, that we are so proud to say we will be working alongside to bring his forthcoming album to its full potential.

Cooza is one of the most delicate and insightful voices in contemporary folk, whose poetry and melodic sensitivity has garnered him in the multiple millions of streams on Spotify alone.

To say we are excited for this partnership would be the case even if it were not for the album we embark on this journey toward.

‘Getting Better At Knowing You’ is, in a word, exquisite.

Poignant. Devastating. Affirming. Unyielding. Unwavering. And palpably, at every single corner, brimming with overwhelming love.

It is impossible to mention this record without the context. But it is enough to say, that Cooza’s sister, wherever she is, is in awe of herself. As she sees herself reflected in the beauty she has inspired in this magnificent, once in a lifetime record.

There is, of course, sadness here. But that is far from the overwhelming emotion. Mostly, this album will leave you feeling grateful, to be on this side of the wall with those we love.

For the tiny moments that we get to share with those in our heart. At the minuscule remarks that nestle in our memories. At the small symphonies, we sometimes get too jaded to hear.

This album will renew your lens. And on the wings of Ellie make you pause in the moment for your love.

Personally speaking, I have long admired the work of Cooza. To have him be amongst our small-folk-family is just another sign we are on the path. With great honour, welcome my brother.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT :

Folk Boy Records is proud to represent Bath and London based alternative fingerstyle-folk artist Alex Dover.

When I first heard Chicken Killin’ Blues by Alex I was immediately struck by the guitar, here was a kid in my home City seeking that same sonic abundance from his instrument as I was and doing so with the deft hand of a master.

Before even the dust had settled on my wonder of his musicianship the story telling nature of his verse had sunk its claws into me and it was too late.

Alex Dover is, in the most traditional sense, a roving folk troubadour and yet, there is a wry whit and sardonic empathy running threads through his work that warrants a second, third and ultimately routine listening.

Occupying that rare niche between sensitive and stoic, Alex blends the arts of tragedy and comedy and blurs the lines of fantasy and reality in way that only makes every mask he wears seem to ring more true than the last.

We are honoured to represent this artist as they begin unveiling new music to the world and are delighted to announce he will be playing the Finsbury for a free show alongside on the 23rd or June

When we first heard ‘River Wey’ from every single one of us at the label was absolutely floored.

We knew as soon as we first heard Joe that he was a sensational songwriter and a wildly talented singer, what we didn’t anticipate is how quickly and how vividly his style would bloom to so absolutely embody everything this label represents…

‘River Wey’, out today on all platforms, is utterly fearless, lump-in-throat inducing, dabbled with insight and insatiably gratifying in every measure we deem even remotely relevant with regards a good song.

Spell-binding, serene and timeless - we welcome this new Worry era with both hands and absolute rabid curiosity.

On the 28th of March .dakota_music releases the follow up to their absolutely stunning debut single.

Fela described Kintsugi as ‘being about time slipping through your fingers, appreciating coming out the other end of whatever place you were in’ and like the Japanese craft from which it takes its name, Kintsugi transmutes that turmoil, that fracture in the fabric and gilds it with the same delicately spun ferocity and unshakable conviction to give it all away that made ‘Pour Your Soul’ such a ravishing first release.

Folk Boy Records SHOWCASE 1 - recap

On February 18th we hosted our debut record label showcase at The Finsbury in London.

A sold out event that featured 3 of our artists on one bill for a night of intimate singer-songwriter music.

3 artists, each with their own distinct sound unified in the pursuit of creating something real and building a label synonymous with truth and disarming beauty.

I speak on behalf of our artists and the venture we’re creating when I say - we did us proud - in just over a month our label has created something that has magnetised people and brought our best foot forward into the world.

Thank you, magnificently, to everyone who came along.

This was just our introduction, just the first breath for our lungs but in that we felt a small glimmer of everything ahead of us and everything we have promised for the future.

If you missed this show, if you want more, if you believe in what we’re building - there is another chance to catch us at one of London’s most iconic venues…see the link in our bio for tickets to St. Pancras Old Church.

These photos are magic, and were created 2-7 by .shots and the final 3 by .as.a.moth

Thank you sincerely to the ears and hearts, to the warmth and the talent, thank you to those who believed and are excited, thank you to the artists, thank you and thank you.

On to the next one…May 8th…

SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT:

On May 8th and will be co-headlining one of London’s most prestigious venues.

St. Pancras Old Church’s reputation for showcasing the most remarkable talent is superseded only by its mysterious and shrouded ancient history.

Constructed in 314AD and put on the musical map by The Beatles, has gone onto become one of London’s most venerated live performance venues, renowned and iconic for hosting the most intimate shows in a remarkable and utterly unique atmosphere.

We are HONOURED to announce that, on May 8th, Luke De-Sciscio and WORRYWORRY will be performing in this hallowed venue, sharing the bill for an unforgettable evening of spine tingling emotion, repentant honesty and deeply devotional, daringly passionate song.

Tickets are limited of course by the size of the venue and should be purchased from the link in our bio

This will be Folk Boy Records first statement show and should be seen as a rallying call to all who believe in our mission: to elevate expression over perfection, fearlessness over convention and authenticity over marketing.
