Charismatic, authentic and thoroughly entertaining, Lawrence Menard (USA) and Clare Quinn (AUS) are the transpacific-troubadours known as ‘Those Folk.’ They met in Scotland in 2012 and they have since travelled extensively and lived in the pine forest mountains of California. They now hang their travelling hats in Pomona, on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
Those Folk explore sounds from the 1960’s folk revival and contemporary Americana music. Breathtaking vocal harmonies are featured alongside rich instrumental work performed on guitars, mandolin, banjo and accordion. Lawrence & Clare are storytellers who make audience members feel like fast friends. As songwriters they delve into love, hope, belonging, and the human condition. As performers they enthral, enchant, and leave a lasting impression. They make a very welcome return to the Troubadour – having left the best possible memories when they first played here in January this year. You can read about their performance on our Facebook page – just go back to January 2025.
