On another thread I read of some folkmusic pubs in the UK where musicians drop in and perform, fueled by the beer provided by the landlord. Here in Berkeley, Cal., we have a folk club, Freight and Salvage, which has one or two open mike nights a month, but otherwise is booked up with various bluegrass and folk groups, some local, some on tour. Years ago F and S was smaller and much more open to drop-in performers, to play-alongs, and so on.

If you know of any, wherever in the US you live, please notify this thread, and maybe we can start a directory.
