GUEST,Guest, pmcd Best cities in USA for folk music (69* d) RE: Best cities in USA for folk music 16 Sep 09

I live in Philly and there is a great deal of live singing - one of the main reasons I stay in the area. The Spring Thing and Fall Fling previously mentioned are all-singing-all-playing-up all night events that devotees wouldn't miss. There are numerous jam groups, some of which has been going on for over 15 years. The Folk Song Society has house sings, and there are lots of house concerts that typically end in a jam session for attendees.

Also a very active Sacred Harp community if you're into that kind of folk singing

In other words, lots of opportunities to sing and play, if you prefer participating over just listening.
