Folkknot is a seafaring six-piece band based in Greensboro, North Carolina. Never afraid to sail against the wind, Folkknot crafts enchanting indie-folk-pop-rock escapism that beats back against the mainstream current of our modern era, harking at the essence of folk storytelling elements from yesteryear.
Captained by frontman Grey Hyatt’s vivid songwriting & lucid vision for his songs, Folkknot’s eclectic instrumentation provides a lush soundscape that brings their songs & stories to life.
Folkknot offers a sound that is both out-of-the-box and comfortably familiar at the same time.
New-age innovation meets timeless folk tradition to create a sound that is uniquely their own, with instrumentation including acoustic guitar, accordion, violin, piano, upright bass, drums, and topped off with three-part vocal harmonies.
They recently released their first professional studio record All Good Things independently on May 31st, 2024. Timed at a commanding 53 minutes, the album is a relentless barrage of captivating storytelling, catchy hooks, & clever lyricism, all set to an opulent orchestration of beautiful folk instruments. No two songs sound alike, yet the album is incredibly cohesive and flows seamlessly from song to song.
All Good Things is a listening experience that allows listeners to get lost in a daydream of folk-rock escapism, transporting them through vastly different settings, time periods, and nearly the whole range of human emotions. The record currently has 50k Spotify streams as well as 70k views on YouTube, and still climbing.
