Floyds Row

A folk collective, Floyds Row explores the connections between early, classical, folk, bluegrass/newgrass, and world music.https://www.classical-scene.com/2016/01/26/floyds-row/ WPFW Radio's David Rabin described the collective's eclectic programming as "a mix of Purcell and Bob Dylan played on various instruments, including an accordion and a viola da gamba. Kinda crazy, but it works."https://naxosdirect.com/items/the-oxford-sessions-440774
==Name==
The band’s namesake refers to a street off St Aldate's, Oxford, running between the University of Oxford’s Faculty of Music and the Thames Valley Police station.
==History==
Floyds Row evolved from a series of concerts at the University of Oxford in 2012. These first collaborations––organized by Chris Ferebee, along with Alistair Anderson, Andrew Arceci, and several guest musicians––led to the ensemble producing their début recording, The Oxford Sessions (2018).https://naxosdirect.com/items/the-oxford-sessions-440774
