The Kickstarter begins on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, and runs
until August 27, 2026. The campaign gives fans a chance to preorder the album
as well as winter-themed merch from the band. Merch includes apparel, handmade
ornaments, art, and mugs, which are perfect for a cozy winter or even holiday
gifts.
One track and video from the new Christmas album, “A
Wintertime Feast,” were released in November 2025. It is their first-ever holiday
track and is an original composition. It tells the tale of critters coming
together for a Christmas Eve meal, and it has a strong Celtic sound and feel to
it. Anna Lark provided illustrations for the video of the song.
Kinnfolk is made up of husband and wife Josh and Julie Kinn.
The duo combines octave mandolin, bodhrán, and vocal harmonies into their Celtic
folk music. They blend original compositions with traditional tracks.
The duo won the Robinson Emerging Artist Showcase in 2023,
which earned them a Main Stage appearance at that year’s Goderich Celtic Roots
Festival. They have also been on the cover of Irish Music Magazine, and the
Irish & Celtic Music Podcast named them one of the top Celtic folk bands of
2025.
In September 2024, Kinnfolk successfully funded their third
studio album, “Star Above the Mountain,” on Kickstarter with 114% funding. The success
of this album launched a tour with the same name and international press.
