Portsmouth, NH has trad sessions at The Press Room every Friday night from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Third Saturday of the month is a shanty/sea music sing. There's an Irish session every Wednesday evening at Blue in Portland, Maine, and singers seem welcome.

Check out The Mondadnock Folklore Society for dances, sessions, and concerts in southwestern NH and southern VT, Note there are shapenote sessions as well.

Lots of folk music in the small state of Rhode Island. Do websearches for Stone Soup Coffeehouse Pawtucket, Blackstone River Theatre Cumberland, Lily Pads Music Peace Dale, Common Fence Music Portsmouth, Sandywoods Music Tiverton. If you come to Stone Soup, I'll probably be there.

Travelling with my wife for the first time to USA in October.

We are having some days in New York and then having just under a couple of weeks travelling round New England. I think we have a car for that period too.

Am I likely to find any music?

Are there any places where we might get a chance to sing a song somewhere? Do such things as sessions and singarounds exist in the same way they do in the UK?
