Serious songs from goofy people. That’s what you can expect from diverse, Midwest

indie-rockers, Motherfolk. What started out as a writing project among two college friends

turned into a fully realized band untethered to genres, with an endlessly bright future.

Composed of Bobby Paver and Nathan Dickerson on vocals and guitar, bassist Clayton

Allender, drummer Ethan Wescott, and Karlie Dickerson on keys Motherfolk are not only

bandmates, but best friends. The band’s close-knit relationship allows each member to be their

most authentic self, leaving every ounce of their souls to be poured into each song and

high-energy performance.

Despite their light-hearted, groovy-rock sound Motherfolk is dedicated to creating a much

deeper connection with their fans. They don’t shy away from the taboo, taking on heavy topics

with a light heart. The results provide us with music you can dance to, whose impact is felt long

after the song has ended.

The band’s quirky friendship and social media posts originally drew fans in, but their connection

to the music kept those fans around. Since their formation Motherfolk has been on a steady

upward trajectory, amassing well over 5 million Spotify streams on their three studio albums and

selling out shows while touring heavily across the United States.

While COVID-19 halted the band’s year of touring plans, Motherfolk spent the year hard at work,

creating and self-producing new music and they came out anew. Late summer 2021 will

invigorate fans with new singles adorning the most refreshing and versatile Motherfolk sound to

date, leading up to a fall EP release. This next chapter is slated to be the most exciting one yet,

don’t miss it!
