Host Karen Impola features music that is rooted in tradition, but spreads out in a variety of modern directions, including blues and bluegrass; singer-songwriters new and old; rockers getting back to their acoustic roots; plus excursions into Celtic and world music. The show also features exclusive recordings made at venues throughout the IPR listening area, and occasionally, live musical guests in IPR's very own studios.
You can hear "The Folk Tree" Sundays at 1:00 PM on Iowa Public Radio's Studio One network. Studio One network broadcast stations include the KUNI frequencies (KDMR, KDWI, KDUB, KUNI, KUNY, KRNI).
