It's a great folkscene here. Check out Seattle Folklore Society and Victory Music - both have monthly newsletters with calendars of events. The Seattle Folklore Society has a weekly Song Circle (check their web page). I host a monthly (1st Thurs) Trad Music Jam (British Isles & Northern Lands)- combined instrumental & singing - at Wit's End Bookstore. Wit's End also has a weekly open mic (every Wed) and other folk music jams. Dusty Strings folk music store in the Fremont neighborhood is a great resource for folk music. For trad Irish sessions, check out Conor Byrne's Pub in Ballard. And there's much more.

Cheers, S. in Seattle
