The 2015 (16th Annual) Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Festival (PMFF) will be taking place September 26th and 27th, in downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

We've got a great lineup -- The Johnson Girls, Cliff Haslam, Nicole Singer, Craig Edwards, Jean Pauly, Becky Tracy & Keith Murphy, Dan Milner, Chris Koldewey, Jeff Warner, and lots of local talent such as Two Old Friends, London Julie, Great Bay Sailor, Mudhook…Oh, and me, Linn Schulz.

There's a full performer list with bios, etc. at the website -- 2015 PMFF
-- along with the schedule, a printable PDF of the schedule, and much more. There WILL be a slight tweaking to the schedule grid in the next couple days -- the performance on Saturday at John Paul Jones House will start at noon and performers at "Off to Sea Once More" and "Setting Sail" will swap positions (f'rinstance, Mudhook first, followed by Great Bay Sailor at John Paul Jones House). Also the order at 4:00-4:45 at Book & Bar on Sunday will swap positions.

Everything is FREE! From the music at historic houses to the Saturday night concert, street busking, mini-concerts and open sings (TWO venues on Saturday), closing shanty blast on Sunday... Please check the online schedule. There have been a couple more venue changes this year.

The festival actually kicks off with a lecture Thursday night at the Portsmouth Athenaeum -- 2015 PMFF
-- on Black Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolution and Black Submariners in the US Navy 1940-1975 and at the regular Friday evening trad session at The Press Room (4:30-9:00) on Daniel St. to get everyone in a nautical mood.

Come and enjoy all the FREE music and meet some "famous" Mudcatters!
