There’s a place called Moscow in Polk County, Texas. I’m told there’s also a Moscow on the banks of the Moskva river in Russia. The Folk Orchestra have visited neither of these places and probably never will but their sound owes much to both the southern states of the USA and Eastern Europe.
This odd hybrid of sounds, best described as Country & Eastern, fits Timothy's bawdy Essex songwriting like an oil slick fits a penguin - it ain't necessarily the way nature intended but it works surprisingly well. The band was recently described as 'Leonard Cohen meets Chas 'n' Dave' - high praise indeed.
Regular collaborator with Cambridge favourites The Broken Family Band, Timothy has long been searching for a vehicle to combine his love of Eastern European folk music and US acoustic roots (and a good excuse to rope in several musicians he wanted to work with in one go). The band’s influences range from Hank Williams and bluegrass to klezmer and European folk, via the wonderful middle ground of Camper Van Beethoven, The Violent Femmes and The Tigerlillies.
