Allied Folk is a trio of old and new friends doing classic and contemporary
folk music. They also do some rockabilly, some blues, acoustic folk/rock and pop.
Eddie Dee and Kevin Fandel grew up in a suburb of Boston Massachusetts and
were active in the Folk Mass and 'church basement' coffeehouse scene in the late
60's through early 70's.
Howie grew up in Hamden CT and played in a folk trio with his sister and (future)
brother-in-law there as he followed the emergence of the music of the Beatles and
Peter, Paul & Mary.
All three were active in their college folk music scenes. After college, they immersed
themselves in professional careers, keeping music as a serious hobby and creative
outlet.
Several years ago Ed and Howie met and discovered their mutual interest in folk
music. Soon thereafter Kevin joined them and the three have been growing a
friendship and the repertoire of the music found here.

THE BUZZ
Excerpts from some e-mails we've received . . .
" . . . Mostly, though, Allied Folk sounds together, and it sound like you all
are having fun. Your song selections are excellent, the stage presence
is really good, and I think the audience walks away happy, and not
bored. There is a really nice, warm feeling to your shows."
" . . . You guys sounded great last night. I liked all the harmonies and the
song choices were perfect. You had a lot of energy and were very connected
to the audience. It was a real treat to hear you. "
" . . . You guys were great last night, loved all the songs you chose, nice interesting
mix of folk tunes and John's right you do an excellent job of connecting with the
audience, everyone really enjoyed your set."
" . . . Allied Folk has such a classic sound, really unique, it's very fun
to be part of your audience, you guys do an excellent job. Just makes
me want to sing! "
" . . . Thanks should go to you guys! You sounded great, it was really fun
watching and hearing you. "
