Hi there. We are Spooky Folk
The sounds are brought to you by the fabulous talents of :
Kaleo Kaualoku - guitar, ukele, vocals Jesse Perry - guitar, vocals Scarlett Wright - keyboards, bass guitar, melodica, bells (&more!) Petra Kelly - violin Chris Brown - drums
"Spooky Folk's almost eerie ambience and folk roots are what attracted a lively and very responsive crowd to Hailey's Friday night. Although they weren't headlining, they brought an energy to the place that added volumes to the crowd's level of praise and 'get down-ness.'" - mydentonmusic.com
"Their sound is one to be admired and their music is such that it longs to be heard..." -mydentonmusic.com
"Chris Flemmons, the band's frontman and NX35 Grand Poobah, said, 'Until three weeks back, we weren't even planning on playing.' He said it just felt weird to book his own band to play the festival. 'But after I listened to Spooky Folk's stuff on MySpace, I knew I wanted to play here with 'em.'" -The Dallas Observer
"... but seeing him perform with his full band was even more affecting-- especially the Beirut-esque move of playing the band's final song while walking out of the upstairs room, down the stairs and out the front door
before re-entering through the fire escape for the song's final notes. Without a doubt, Spooky Folk is one of the more remarkable acts playing around town. But don't just take my word for it." -The Dallas Observer
"It was obvious, though, that they've built quite a following at those house shows because the joint was packed. Spooky Folk rocked the room with an endearing and kooky set that had darn near everyone bopping, cheering, and even screaming. The emotional connection with their audience and their ragamuffin looks draw inevitable comparisons to bands like Arcade Fire, especially after witnessing their riveting performance. They poured out their souls on stage and fully engaged their audience, with members singing along with the audience's singing at times. Spooky Folk created a truly communal experience, and brought the house show vibe to one of Denton's best known venues." -mydentonmusic.com
"...Their sound is one to be admired and their music is such that it longs to be heard, whether locally or otherwise, therefore recording seems to be the next logical step for the fivesome." -pegasusnews.com
"All in all, everyone wants a piece of the Spooky Folk pie." -pegasusnews.com
"...What is spooky about Spooky Folk is how quickly its melodies and hooks can creep deep into a listener's brain." -The Dallas Observer
