Folk rock is quite an incredible genre. So many folk rock artists have managed to deliver the perfect combination of classic rock and traditional English or American folk music. The heyday of the genre was definitely the 1960s, and many incredible folk rock artists have come and gone through the years. Luckily, there are still some hitmakers from that era that are still around today; and some of them are still performing. Let’s look at four of the oldest living folk rock legends who are still groovin’ today!

Anna Netrebko’s manager has responded to Peter Gelb’s latest comments regarding the diva in a May 2024 interview with Diapason. In a recent issue with the French magazine, Miguel Esteban, Netrebko’s manager said, “Peter Gelb insinuates that he has private information, but in reality, Anna Netrebko’s opinion on Putin and the war in Ukraine is public. In her March 30, 2022 statement, Anna Netrebko clarified that she was at arm’s length from Putin or the Russian government. She declared her opposition to the war on February 26, 2022, two days after the start of the conflict, and again on March 1 and 30, 2022. Anna Netrebko has stated that she loves her home country (even though she kept her word and has not set foot there since February 2022) but she has never used the words that Peter Gelb attributes to her (“I support my country.”).”
