Saxon Penn and the Good Sorts

Saxon Penn and the Good Sorts bring a powerful, harmony-rich take on traditional and contemporary folk music. Rooted in Saxon's songwriting and deep love of traditional song, the band expands the sound with electric guitar, fiddle, banjo, drums, and soaring four-part harmonies. Drawing influence from the poetic songwriting of Townes Van Zandt and Bob Dylan alongside the raw energy of outlaw country and folk-rock, the Good Sorts move effortlessly between centuries-old ballads and Saxon's original songs. The result is a sound that feels both timeless and alive. Their performances are equal parts storytelling and musical camaraderie, with voices rising together in harmony and instruments weaving around the songs like old friends finishing each other’s sentences. Saxon Penn and the Good Sorts carry the spirit of folk tradition into a broader, electrified landscape without losing sight of the stories at the heart of the music.
