Broadside Electric is an American electric folk (self-described as "folk music with teeth") band from Philadelphia. Formed in 1990, the band was still active in 2011. Audiences expect an erudite and eclectic mix of traditional material, including child ballads, foreign language songs, and the humorous, obscure, and sometimes absurd.
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.
