It's like Gulliver's Travels, but with ukulele

Tinyfolk is Russ Woods and he is not tiny.  Which is not to say that he's big, of course.  Really, if hard pressed, we'd have to admit that he's a pretty skinny guy and, honestly, his baritone ukulele isn't exactly the monster truck of instruments.  And furthermore, when he opens his mouth it wouldn't come a much of a surprise if his songs do seem tiny, or at least careful, or sometimes even transient.

But like a clown car or one of those foam dinosaurs that you soak in water overnight, Tinyfolk has more to offer than first appearances might suggest.  He's the grower-not-shower of DIY, with a catalog of songs that is rather intimidating in both size and ability.  With creative musical hooks and a discerning existentialist bent, Tinyfolk is pop for people with an appreciation for aesthetic and a penchant for adorable animals.

Also, let's be honest.  Who doesn't like tiny things, anyway?

Tinyfolk will be playing at the Boomslang Carnival on Saturday, September 11 on the main stage.

Check out Russ's music!

Peace be with you,
Joe "I Was The Cloverfield Monster" Harbison
