SomaFM - Folk Forward
US
SomaFM's hand-curated indie-folk and alt-folk channel is the purest distillation of the brief — thoughtful, listener-supported, and built around songwriters.
Singer Songwriter Radio
Voice, Guitar, and a Story
A set of stations that treat the song as the thing: a lyric, a guitar, a voice in the room. From hand-curated indie-folk channels to long-running public folk institutions and Nashville's independent voice, these are places where craft and storytelling come first. Settle in, brew something warm, and let the songwriters do the talking.
