Welcome to the Just Folks webpage.

     Just Folks is Delmarva Public Radio's weekly three hour contemporary folk music program. Every Saturday evening from 8 until 11:00 p.m., Just Folks--since December 21, 1991--presents the very best music, with new releases and old favorites from such artists as Bruce Cockburn, Cheryl Wheeler, Tim O'Brien, Eilen Jewell, Bob Dylan, Nanci Griffith, Jeffrey Foucault, Lynn Miles, John Gorka, Patty Larkin, Greg Brown, Lucy Kaplansky, Dar Williams, Phil Ochs, Tom Paxton, Eliza Gilkyson, and many, many more. In fact, there are so many great performers, singers, singer-songwriters and musicians putting out great music these days to provide any sort of comprehensive or definitive list.

     I do my best to put together three hours of music that I hope will move you, entice you, amuse you, and make you think every Saturday night. And don’t let the label "contemporary" mislead you. While the focus is often on new and recent releases, Just Folks frequently dips into classic recordings from way back in the last century.

     Sometimes there are thematic threads in sets; occasionally, an entire hour (e.g., Earth Day, Memorial Day, Gordon Lightfoot’s birthday) or even the entire program is devoted to a single theme or artist (e.g., Bob Dylan’s birthday, Mothers Day).

     If you have questions or comments or if you hear someone on Just Folks you think would make a good featured artist on an upcoming program, you can send me an email.

     Most weeks, Just Folks playlists are posted to the Delmarva Pubic Radio website by the Monday following the broadcast.
