The Folk
The Folk is a five-piece band resolute in rocking
socks. Formed by singer/songwriter/guitarist
Nick DiCarlo, the group emerged in order to
record a demo of the frontman's
original
material in early January 2004.. DiCarlo signed on
the services of
college friend/songwriter Peter
Couto to play electric guitar, Ryan Wegner to
play
drums, and Andrey Kazachkov to play
keyboards. In mid-January, the band
returned to
campus at Columbia University, and Couto
brought in friend Alex
Platt to play bass. The
ensemble was complete. The Folk began practicing together
and working to tighten their sound. Couto has since taken a strong creative
role in the group since the original formation and now writes many of the group's
songs.
