Laurie Lewis had the top album (Trees) and was the most-played artist on folk radio during June 2024, while Beppe Gambetta had the month\u2019s most-played song (\u201cSit and Pick with You\u201d). So say charts compiled by Folk Alliance International based on radio playlists submitted to FOLKDJ-L, an electronic discussion group for DJs and others interested in folk-based music on the radio.<\/p>\n

Laurie Lewis is an acclaimed, California-based singer-songwriter and fiddler who has been making music since the the 1970s. Although steeped in the bluegrass tradition, her roots music extends beyond that genre and appeals to Americana and folk fans as well. A two-time International Bluegrass Music Association(IBMA) Female Vocalist of the Year, she also won its coveted Song of the Year award for her rendition of the now-standard “Who Will Watch the Someplace?” Such artists as Kathy Mattea and Patsy Montana have also recorded her songs, while Lewis has been prominently featured on the recording of other artists. Besides her solo projects, Lewis has also performed with her bluegrass band, The Right Hands, and as a duo with Tom Rozum, as well as Nina Gerber. She has also spent many years as a teacher at music camps across the U.S., has been a mentor to many young female artists, and has produced albums for other musicians as well. <\/p>\n

The 12 tracks on her new album, Trees<\/em>, include original songs, along with cover of songs by Tom T. Hall, John Hartford, Bill Morrissey, Kate MacLeod, and Mark Simos. Here’s a link to a video for the album’s nature-inspired opening track, “Just a Little Ways Down the Road”: https:\/\/laurielewis.com\/video\/just-a-little-ways-down-the-road\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beppe Gambetta, whose “Sit and Pick With You” topped the song charts in June,is an Italian acoustic guitarist, composer and singer whose musical stylings blend elements of European tradition with American roots music and contemporary flair. During his 50-year musical career to date, the Genoa, Italy native has performed extensively on both sides of the Atlantic. <\/p>\n

On his 2024 release, Terra Madre<\/em> (Mother Earth), the master guitarist is joined by such other notable acoustic artists as David Grisman, Tim O’Brien and Dan Crary. “Sit and Pick with You” is the album’s first single. Here’s a link to a video for it that features a number of still photos of Gabetta performing in concert and at festivals with other artists of note: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BbtIH2NJH2I<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The June 2024 top albums, songs and artists charts are based on 12, 068 airplays reported on 406 playlists submitted by 107 different folk DJs. The number of reported spins is shown below in parentheses. <\/p>\n

Folk Alliance International (folk.org<\/a>) is a nonprofit organization that aims to serve, strengthen, and engage the global folk music community through preservation, presentation and promotion.<\/p>\n
