From Kim Ruehl, your Guide to Folk Music
Some years, it seems like every old, reliable artist drops a new album to remind us of their genius. Other years, it seems like great newcomers are pouring out of every nook and cranny, moving music forward with their creative approach. 2013 seems to be one of the latter thus far. As we ease ever further into spring, check out some artists you should be watching.

Interview with Andrew Duhon
On his new album 'The Moorings', New Orleans-based singer-songwriter Andrew Duhon marries a sort of Tom Waits sensibility together with the soulful vocal prowess of someone more like Ray LaMontagne. Learn more about Duhon and his musical beginnings with this interview.

Get to Know the Chapin Sisters
Daughters of Tom Chapin and niece of the famed folksinger Harry Chapin ("Cats in the Cradle") Lily and Abigail Chapin have been performing with their half-sister Jessica Craven (Wes Craven's daughter) for years. They have a new album out this month paying tribute to the Everly Brothers, but first get to know the Chapin Sisters with this brief bio.

All About Samantha Crain
Samantha Crain's new album - her third on Ramseur Records - has been earning considerable buzz across the folk and roots music blogosphere the past few weeks. Though she's been touring the festival circuit for the past couple of years, she's still fairly new to most folks. Get to know more with this brief bio.

Profile: Shannon Whitworth
Originally of NC-based bluegrass outfit the Biscuit Burners, Shannon Whitworth has been slowly building a canon of solo work over her last couple of albums. With a great new one out called High Tide, she's definitely one of the artists you'll want to be watching for this spring and summer.
