FreshGrass owns and operates Folk Alley, the only 24-hour, listener supported, hand-picked (by people, not algorithms) streaming roots music service. We have approximately one million listeners per year as well as a weekly program syndicated on 72 NPR stations that expands our audience significantly further. Folk Alley is considered an invaluable platform, giving voice to many artists who do not get played on mainstream radio. 

Folk Alley distinguishes itself among online music services as a respected leader for folk, roots, and Americana content. Whether it’s through the 24-7 hosted music stream, specialty side streams, a vibrant website and mobile app, a weekly syndicated radio show, or the robust Folk Alley Sessions podcast and video series, there’s something for everyone who wants to discover and enjoy contemporary folk, roots, and Americana music for the 21st century. As we introduce our Roots of Roots podcast series in the coming months, Folk Alley will enter a new phase of cultural studies and ethnomusicology as well.
