When I think of folky rock, I immediately think of The Acorn's Restoration. It's hard to describe "folky rock", so should anyone ask just play this track and they should get the idea of it. Most people think folk is just some alternate term for acoustic country or hillbilly music, and most would be mistaken.
In Restoration, The Acorn achieve a greater sense of crescendo. From the very beginning you get a sense that the song will just build up to a summit and the journey to get there will never bore you. With every passing verse, the climb to that summit gets louder and more intense until you reach the very end and it just suddenly ends. Leaving you breathless at the top.
Make sure to comment on whether or not you've A) heard of it or not B) liked it or not and C) whether you would listen to more of the artist.
