Philip Aaberg, Darol Anger, Alison Brown, Mike Marshall, Tim O'Brien and Todd Phillips have created a new band combining traditional and bluegrass roots with classical and jazz influences.

Newcomer, Carrie
Contemporary Folk-pop singer-songwriter. Site includes tour schedule, Real Audio samples, retail, interactive "ask carrie page," changing video clips, and workshop information.

Randy Newman
Southern gothic tales combined with an impish satirical wit. Flannery O'Connor meets Tom Lehrer? An American original - and among the very best.

Nields, The
The Nields have more fun than anyone should be allowed to have and so do their fans, but the songwriting is seriously good and the folk-rock sound rocks. Their website is true to form.

Northern Lights
This band carries on the high lonesome sound of traditional bluegrass, adding influences from rock and jazz to classical. Vassar Clements occasionally joins them on fiddle.

Ochs, Phil
Brief bio, essential songs, CDs, books and websites - including lyrics/chords sites - with links. The best place to begin exploring the life and work of this political songwriter.

Ochs, Phil
Beginning as a topical songwriter with a gift for political satire, Ochs grew into a songpoet of epic ballads and anthems. Died young. Immortal.

O'Connor, Mark
Well-known fiddler.

Odetta
This fansite pays tribute to the legendary folksinger and mesmerizing performer and offers bio, discography, news & links.

Orton, Beth
An intriguing new folk sound and direction - but check her hit against "Midnight at the Oasis"...
