In every community, there are devoted people behind the scenes helping to make
the folk music scene vibrant, thriving by keeping the wheels rolling. Whether
it's a longtime volunteer at a folk club or house concert series, a festival or
venue director, a local folk radio host, or a writer who reviews CDs or concerts
- one common thread is that these people love the music. They are passionate
about serving artists and fans and making sure the folk scene in their community
is strong and active.
We chose the name Folk Spokes from listener submissions for Folk Alley's new
feature because spokes support wheels while connecting an unbroken circle
of the best of musical traditions. Folk Spokes is an opportunity for you
to nominate the unsung individuals (or spokes) in your community and to give
them a well-deserved moment in the spotlight.
Folk DJ, Chris Darling
 “DJ Chris Darling is the most devoted folk music, um, devotee that I've ever encountered. He works incredibly hard on his WMPG show "Us Folk" in Portland, Maine to provide airtime to artists far and wide, live and recorded, in-studio and on the phone. This is a really selfless effort, and having heard him talk about it off-the-air many times, I know he is motivated solely by a love of the music and the people making it.” ~ Dan Bernard Links
