The annual Brooklyn Folk Festival, founded in 2009 by musician and radio host Eli Smith, was conceived from the outset as a showcase for diverse roots music traditions from America and beyond — spanning Appalachian old-time string bands, Balkan tunes, and Irish bagpipes. The festival is staged in partnership with Brooklyn's Jalopy Theatre, itself a hub for musicians working in acoustic, folk, and old-time American styles, and is also tied to Smith's own radio program, Down Home Radio Show, which covers similar territory. The compilation "Best of the Brooklyn Folk Festival: 2013," released on Jalopy Records, documents a day of the 2013 festival on stage: it gathers 19 live recordings by 16 performers captured live at the event. The album's tracklist reflects the breadth of the festival's lineup — guitar blues sits alongside banjo tunes, gospel numbers alongside jug band ensembles, Balkan melodies alongside Irish bagpipe pieces, and old-time folk alongside traditional country. This genre mix reflects the festival's founding idea: to bring together musicians working across distinct but related folk and roots traditions under one roof, presented live, in the raw energy of an actual performance rather than a studio recording.
