Kinnfolk at the West Virginia Renaissance Festival
Music

Kinnfolk

Irish traditional tunes and Celtic folk songs, tied together with
plenty of on-stage banter. Audiences are encouraged to sing along with
sea shanties or stand up and tap their toes!

KINNFOLK – the husband and wife duo of Josh and Julie Kinn – weave
octave mandolin, bodhrán (Irish drum), and smooth vocal harmonies into
their Celtic folk music from the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. From
sea shanties and working songs, to trad tunes and Old Time favorites,
Kinnfolk’s fresh take on classics blends seamlessly with their original
compositions. They share stories as enduring as tartan, spinning yarns
steeped in Appalachian charm, enjoying playful banter with the audience.
Their shows feel like a kitchen party, where everyone is family, and
there’s always room for a dancer.
