I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know the name or this new genre of music that has bombarded the radio air waves. You might call it a new style of folk music with a Celtic influence. Does anyone know if the media has given it a name yet?

The examples are: The Lumineers, Fun, Mumford & Sons, Delta Rae and Phillip Phillips, just to name a few.

Folk rock?

Alternative folk rock?

"rootsy"?

I like those. We could use Aternative Folk Rock and call it AFER or how about
ALTFROCK

Or "frootsy"?
