Artist Biography

A ‘fractal’ is said to be something"… too irregular to be easily described…” - a phrase that is very appropriate when considering the music of Fractal Folk.

This Southern Maryland band, a staple of the festival and winery circuits, has been steadily growing a sound and following for the past several years by crafting elements of folk, jazz, rock and country into a unique blend that is current, yet timeless.

Featuring a large ensemble of musicians playing instruments ranging from the ancient to the modern, Fractal Folk have been taking their sound to larger venues, but are still able to fit comfortably into smaller locations and private events. While their primary focus is on the original compositions of bandleader Krys Baker, the band also incorporates classics from the tradition of the Great American Songbook, and has even been known to turn out high-energy versions of traditional songs and current composers' tunes.

They are versatile enough to tailor set lists to a wide variety of occasions and locations, from rowdy bars to rehearsal dinners, and have even been known to interpret specific requests from time to time.
