If you’re looking for a quirky and fun movie to watch, check out The History of Future Folk.

If you know what Tenacious D is to heavy metal, or what Flight of the Conchords is to classic rock, then you have an idea of what Future Folk is to folk and bluegrass.

But there’s also what I would call a “prog twist” to Future Folk: namely, the sci-fi, alien spaceman concept album theme.

So, think of it as the genre of Prog Folk — with its one-of-a-kind occupant.

It’s charming and hilarious. Who would have thought how much fun a banjo and a guitar can be together?

And, as an added bonus, it’s the kind of movie the whole family can watch.

Does The History of Future Folk show us the future history of folk? If so, then that would be… PROG.

To which I simply say… HONDO!
