i absolutely love folk/acoustic music. there is just something about it that is down-to-earth and just beautiful. i’ve been playing the guitar since i was a little one (well, 8 years old or so..) and mandolin a little. doesn’t the banjo seem like it would be an incredible instrument to play? maybe that’s next… ;) in the summer, i love sitting in a field out in the country, with a journal in hand, and some good folk music on.
some favorites:
i was playing around with my guitar the other night and here is a little clip of me playing some bluegrass. ha! my guitar wasn’t plugged in or anything and i haven’t played in awhile, but eh…oh well.
love,
arielle
p.s. if you really don’t like folk / bluegrass / acoustic music, thanks for reading anyway :)
I absolutely loved that clip. You are so talented!! Photography, music…what else? haha, but anyway very good!! I love following your blog, you have inspired me in so many ways and I just wanted to thank you for opening my eyes to God. I have strayed from him but I am building back the relationship! Thank you for everything you post on here!
Oh, girl … can you hear the applause over here!! That was amazing!! What a gift God has given you, and you certainly use it well!! So glad you shared this, and by the way … I absolutely LOVE folk/bluegrass music! ;)
I also want to thank you for commenting on my site the other day … we made it through the ice storm with just a ‘flicker’ of our lights, and thankfully, we didn’t lose power! Still very icy and cold out there, though, but we can take comfort in knowing that spring is just around the corner … in the meantime, stay warm! Blessings ~ Deborah :)
thank you deborah! :) so kind of you! glad to hear you like this kind of music too :D
oh goodness, i LOVE this post so much! folk/bluegrass has my heart, all of these artists are beautiful. especially mumford & sons. and the civil wars! isn’t their new album breathtakingly gorgeous? i love those two. i saw their show in hollywood in december and i still think about it… it was beyond dreamy.
you play so beautifully! it’s a dream of mine to learn the guitar one day. you’ve now inspired me to get on that soon! ;)

Loved that clip of you playing! You’re so good! :) I’m going to have to check out some of those groups you mentioned. I’ve heard of several, but there are a few that I haven’t listened to before. :)
I love acoustic/folk music! Especially Mumford & Sons! Have you heard of Angus and Julia Stone? They’re an Australian duo but they’re so amazing, you should listen to them. And Laura Marling ♥
By the way, your blog is completely adorable, as is your son :)
My husband is obsessed with folky music….have you heard of the Avett brothers? You should check them out! ;)
