Charismatic, authentic and thoroughly entertaining, Lawrence Menard (USA) and Clare Quinn (AUS) are the transpacific-troubadours known as Those Folk. Having met in Scotland in 2012, they have since travelled extensively and lived in the pine forest mountains of California. They now hang their travelling hats in Pomona, Queensland.
A partnership forged in the fires of folk music, Those Folk explore sounds from the 1960’s folk revival and contemporary Americana music. Breathtaking vocal harmonies are featured alongside rich instrumental work performed on guitars, accordion, mandolin and banjo. Lawrence and Clare are storytellers who make audience members feel like fast friends. As songwriters they delve into love, hope, belonging and the human condition. As performers they enthral, enchant, and leave a lasting impression.
2024 saw the band release their Life Inside a Box album, tour the UK and perform headline town hall concerts across the East Coast of Australia. Recent performance highlights include Woodford Folk Festival, Blue Mountains Music Festival, Yackandandah Folk Festival, Cobargo Folk Festival and The Gympie Music Muster.
Lawrence and Clare have been compared to the likes of Simon and Garfunkel and Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings. Those Folk make not just folk music, but music for all sorts of folk.
