Broadside Electric is an American folk rock (self-described as "folk music with teeth") band from Philadelphia. Formed in 1990, and is still active as of July 2017.[1] Audiences expect an erudite and eclectic mix of traditional material, including Child ballads, foreign language songs, and humorous, obscure, and sometimes absurd.

Formation

Broadside in the name is taken from the single-side printed song lyric sheets which became popular in the 16th century.

The band was formed in 1990 by Haverford College and Bryn Mawr College students and alumni Rachel Hall, Tom Rhoads, Jim Speer, and Helene Zisook.
