A Brief History of Bridgefolk Records

          Bridgefolk Records was started in the summer of 1995 by the founding members of the band Three Mile Limit: Mike Lawrence, Chris Titchner and Tom Williams. Three Mile Limit had already released one cassette in the fall of 1994 and decided that their follow-up needed to be on a label. Since their seemed to be no real interest from any major label at that time, the trio started their own. During a brainstorming session after a rehearsal it was decided that their new label would be called Bridgefolk Records. There have been many different explanations of the name Bridgefolk over the years, but truthfully... at the time it just sounded good. The explanation the band used most often was Bridgefolk Records was the bridge between folk and other kinds of music. When it came time to create a logo, an amazingly accurate and detailed stickfigure likeness was created for each band member and then placed on a bridge.

          Chris, Mike and Tom began using BFR to release not just Three Mile Limit recordings, but also their own solo projects and music by their friends. In 1996, BFR released its first CD, Three Mile Limit's, Floating Off Somewhere Else.

          In the fall of 1997, Tom left Three Mile Limit and Bridgefolk Records to persue other interests. Several months later Mike moved to Boston. Chris stuck around Burlington and continued making music and releasing it on Bridgefolk Records.

          Bridgefolk Records prides itself on releasing quality acoustic music that appeals to all ages and most musical tastes.
