I'm moving to Spokane (WA) next month. Anyone know about stuff happening in that area?

Saturday November 9th at the Glover Middle School in Spokane is the Spokane Folklore Society Festival. It is a free 1 day fest and lots of music but more importantly an opportunity to connect with other musicians and singers. Good hunting and if you cannot find any music circles, create some.

On Sept 20-22 is the Central Washington Bluegrass Festival and Dutch Oven Rendezvous at Grant County Fairgrounds in Moses Lake,Wash.

Gloredhel, stay in touch with me.I live east of Couer d'Alene in the Silver Valley in North Idaho,only an hour drive to Spokane. I know there's an acoustic music group in the Cd'A area and there has to be more in the Spokane region.

Ahh, Mudjack beat me to it.... but check out this link - it's Seattle Folklore Society but has lots of links to info on things elsewhere in the state.:

Keep in touch with me, as well as rr - I live in Longview, but spend a lot of time in Coeur d'Alene, visiting my honey - would like to know of any finds in that area, as well.

A big thank you to Mudjack, RangerRoger, and Lane! And to think I was worried about a lack of folklife!

I live in Edmonds, but visit in the Spokane area several times a year. Last Feb. I saw Rosalie Sorrels at the Mother Goose Progressive coffee house in Spokane. They have performances featuring local folkies fairly often. Check "The Planet" alternative weekly newspaper for listings. My next trip over will be in the fall, I think. Maybe we can meet up. Please P-Mail me if anything looks good about Nov. Gloredhel, hope you enjoy Spokane! I did when I lived there. Rangeroger, what is that acoustic music group in Couer d'Alene? I get over there occasionally, too.

It was known as the Acoustic Music Society, but it has been a while since I've seen any fliers. Will check around and let you know.

Lane, so far the only other thing I've found is a listing for a session on Tuesday nights at O'Doherty's Irish Grille. The site you mentioned was helpful. And yes, Amergin, I'm going to school there (Gonzaga University) as a music major.

Let me know if you go to the Irish Grille. If it's a good show on Tuesday nights I'll take my Irish girlfriend there next time I visit!
