The songs of "Forgotten Folklore" are a window into the overlooked stories of Americana.

Vocalist Joshua Banbury and multi-instrumentalist Kevin Sherwin create a musical journey through a curated selection of texts and tunes, in striking new arrangements. The songs offer hope, contemplate nature, reminisce on love, and much more.

Banbury and Sherwin also contribute wholly original songs, evoking the story-like essence of American folklore.

The soundscape of "Forgotten Folklore" draws on the fragility and vitality of America's legacy of folk singers. Joshua and Kevin's passion for the early recordings of singers such as Jean Ritchie (1922-2015), Edna Ritchie (1918-1978), Vera Hall (1902-1964), and many others, served as a foundation. Their continued research also led to the prolific transcriptions and field recordings of folklorist Alan Lomax (1915-2002).

Banbury and Sherwin's partnership with the Yale Collection of Historical Sound Recordings led to the detailed study of recordings and texts by these luminaries, among many other American musicians from the early and mid-1900s. The final selection of 5 traditional folk texts offered stories from Texas, Appalachia, and beyond.

In re-interpreting these tunes, Banbury and Sherwin draw on their own musical imaginations, infusing traditional Carnatic music, American orchestral music, and elements of Jazz. This personal approach led them to realize new connections between folk traditions across the world. For Joshua, singing this music gave him a new appreciation for his own ancestors, who have inhabited Texas since the 1830s.
