In this first episode of Following Folk, we begin with a collaboration. Montreal's Allison Russell, a pillar of Americana music, joins forces with another Canadian expat in Nashville, Winnipeg's Allison de Groot, for a very special impromptu banjo duet of the song 'Sparrow' by Allison Russell.

Following Folk takes us on a journey to discover the artists who are redefining folk music today. Featuring in-depth interviews and intimate performances, this series is a treat for all music lovers. New episodes will roll out every day this week here on CBC Arts' YouTube, but you can stream the full series now on CBC Gem! [ Ссылка ]
