New Album "Over Again"

Posted By Alicia Best, A Different Thread, Monday, May 4, 2026
Updated: Tuesday, May 5, 2026

We celebrated the release of our third album "Over Again" on May 1st with a hometown gig in Chapel Hill NC, the community came out to rejoice with us and it was a beautiful night! We're on the road with the album now, gigging our way down the Kerrville, volunteering for the duration, and gigging on from there, 16 states over 3 months, we'd love to connect with more FAI folks along the way! The music video is for our song "The Prophet" calling out climate denial disguised as religious righteousness. Listen to the full album here: https://open.spotify.com/album/4vhOm3lhWEvgGsc4h7mR8k Hope to catch you at a show soon, Alicia and Robert

Updated: Monday, May 4, 2026

New Music Alert: “Now The Wheel Has Turned” Announcing a new single release from Vermont Song Smith and Folk Singer Jason Baker. “Now The Wheel Has Turned” 3:30 Long-neck banjo and vocal Written by “Old Fashioned Folksinger” Steve Suffet, who says of this song: “Maybe it’s just another Gospel song. Or maybe it’s about the Israelis and the Palestinians, or about the Catholics and the Protestants, or about the Shi’ites and the Sunnis, or about the Pawnee and the Sioux. Or maybe it’s about all of the above, or about none of them. You decide. One thing is for sure: the wheel is always turning.” Streaming on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Pandora, Deezer, and on my website and ReverbNation for free: http://www.reverbnation.com/open_graph/song/35384239 Thanks!

Yellofox - Taste For More

Posted By Yellofox, Sunday, April 12, 2026
Updated: Monday, April 13, 2026

Hey Folk Alliance family, Last Friday we released Taste for More, the first single from our upcoming album The Secret of Being Kind (out October '26). A song about having someone to lean on when you're doubting yourself. Dreamy and melancholic, with a hopeful undertone, acoustic guitar, cello, and harmonies that slowly grow into something bigger. Have a listen, and if you like it, please share it around! And for those who were at our showcase in New Orleans this year: yes, this is the album we promised you 😊! Greetings from the Netherlands Yellofox ► Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/0Q2wBF8YHzieOkdJA8hCEA?si=9f4245353ffe46e1

ever felt like a fish out of water? - A Different Thread

Posted By Alicia Best, A Different Thread, Wednesday, March 4, 2026
Updated: Wednesday, March 4, 2026

filmed on our 2015 camcorder in the badlands outside of Chimayo New Mexico on our way to FAI 2026 the song is "Deep Water Fish" from our upcoming album "Over Again" out May 1st. This song is a reminder that you don't have to see your own light to shine. Song and lyrics by Alicia Best and Robert Jackson Produced by A Different Thread Engineered by Ali Blois and Luke Cawthra Mixed by Luke Cawthra Alicia Best: Vocals, drums, percussion Robert Jackson: Vocals, guitars, harmonica Mike Seal: Double bass Mastered by Steven Kerrisson (Weird Jungle) Published by Glovebox Songs and Kassner associated publishers ©℗ A Different Thread 2025 Video shot and directed by A Different Thread Edited by Robert Jackson Special thanks to David and Susan Website: https://www.adifferentthread.com Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Cntg... Bandcamp: https://adifferentthread.bandcamp.com Youtube: / @adifferentthread Instagram: / adifferentthread Facebook: / adifferentthread Tiktok: / adifferentthread Lyrics: I feel like Iʼm drowning, thatʼs how I talk about it You canʼt see anything Iʼm drownin' in And you say Iʼm a beacon, itʼs just hard to believe it When I feel like one of those angler fish #folkmusic #americanamusic #folk #altcountry #americana Iʼm afraid when I shine Itʼs just a trick of the light Iʼm no more than a spark Sent to lure you Into the dark Iʼm not like Polaris, steadfast in her brightness I guess Iʼm more like lightning one strike then Iʼm gone I can light up the sky, Iʼm just not always so bright And you canʼt rely on me guiding you home Iʼm afraid when I shine Itʼs just a trick of the light Iʼm no more than a spark Sent to lure you Into the dark I know that itʼs not true, I know Iʼm shining with you But sometimes I still feel like a deepwater fish The phosphorescence is our biggest defence Down here in the darkness of the Mariana trench Iʼm afraid when I shine Itʼs just a trick of the light Iʼm no more than a spark Sent to lure you Into the dark But you tell me you know the dark There are times when you lost your spark And you donʼt have to shine all of the time Itʼs exhausting but youʼre not alone Sometimes lightningʼs all you need to guide you home Oh oh oh oh oh I will guide you home Oh oh oh oh oh guide you home #folkmusic #indiefolk #americana #altcountry #mentalhealth

New Release-Endlessly

Posted By Emily Judson, Saturday, February 14, 2026
Updated: Tuesday, February 17, 2026

"Endlessly" is an acoustic folk song I wrote and secretly recorded as a surprise 20th anniversary gift for my husband. It is a tender, grounded love letter describing the start of our relationship in rural Kansas (and yes, I still have the mixtape). Overall, the song feels warm, pastoral, and deeply sincere—a celebration of lifelong devotion found in shared adventures, private rituals, and the simple miracle of choosing each other endlessly. Available on all streaming services!

Coming Home To You

Posted By Nick Wilkinson, Friday, January 2, 2026
Updated: Tuesday, January 6, 2026

Hey Sports Fans, This is my new song "Coming Home To You". It's the first single off my upcoming album. I'm hoping to have it released in July of this year. It's a single performance acoustic track with my friend Quinn we recorded in the studio while working on the album. I'm sure you guys know what it's like to leave a gig late in the night and still not feel like you're heading anywhere. That's what this song is about. Let the sleepy lil tune take you home.
