We're are very excited about an upcoming Folk Coll

We're are very excited about an upcoming Folk Collective event through our School of Music called "Roots of Country Music". This event will be taking place in the club on Sat, Feb. 18 from 11am-1pm. Join @cliffnotezz and @maxfieldwa for a conversation and jam session where we will discuss the influences of early black country artists and their historical exclusion from “country” music. Through listening to and playing the songs of artists such as Lesley Riddle, Elizabeth Cotten, and Sister Rosetta Tharpe we’ll explore how their sounds shaped the music we hear today.
.
The second part of this workshop includes an acoustic jam session. Participation is encouraged, not required, so bring your instrument and voices!
.
Register for only $15 at passim.org/classes
*We are offering a number of scholarships to attend this workshop. If you are interested, please email rachel@passim.org to inquire!

Tonight we're pleased to bring you Revels FRINGE at Club Passim: The Gaslight Tinkers @ 7pm. "All Revels programs celebrate traditional music – but music has a habit of jumping fences. We created Revels FRINGE to introduce you to artists who are comfortable in the idea of music without borders: jazz-inflected traditional tunes, folk and classical instruments from around world, exotic and invented instruments, familiar songs in unfamiliar settings…This year, we will continue to explore the musical fringe through a collaboration with Club Passim."

This year's Folk Collective cohort was nominated b

This year's Folk Collective cohort was nominated by members of the Passim Culture & Inclusion Committee and Passim staff and board members. We are excited to have such a diverse cross-section of thought leaders, musicians and teaching artists that represent our community. We have now had two of our quarterly gatherings where Folk Collective members have met at the club to share food, laughs, individual presentations, and open discussions about concepts like what Folk music is today and what steps can be taken to make it more diverse, equitable and inclusive. We'll be excited to share more with you on those conversations later this year through various Folk Collective events.

Here are some photos from our first gathering back in October. Photos were taken by the fantastic @sashapdro. For more information on The Folk Collective, visit passim.org/folkcollective
