Forth Worth Magazine named Simon Flory - Best Musician - in their annual Best of Fort Worth (2025) issue. Simon is a charismatic performer and master storyteller. Watching him live and on stage is like riding a folk music roller coaster. Exhilarating! His shows are a romping, whooping good time. Simon Flory is coming to a venue near you! Check out his tour schedule below.
The Simon Flory Trio with Sharla Franklin on fiddle and Morris Holdahl on guitar were in town to play Slow Ride, a free concert series on Sundays from 3 to 5 pm at Hico Hall, in sunny Hico, Texas. Simon sat down with me in the Tinstreamer Studio for a one on one chat about his life in rural Indiana and his journey to Texas. We talk about mules without shoes, Simon’s love of recitation, 1984, Big Bend, the Levelland Folk Music scene, and much much more. Simon plays his song, “American Ancients” from his 2019 album Radioville, and we close the show with Simon, Morris, and Sharla performing, “Flatbedders Do It Better.”
Full video of this episode is coming soon.
