Folk music concerts in Seattle and nearby areas. The information is gathered from the public online calendars of venues. I am the host of "The Real Folk" on 91.3fm KBCS (Bellevue, Seattle, Tacoma) or streaming at KBCS.FM. The show airs every Sunday 6-8pm. You can listen to archived shows for up to two weeks after air date (also MixCloud). This calendar is scraped from the websites of local presenters and venues.

Goldy & Foss are a singer-songwriter duo based in the Seattle area. They perform original music and tasty cover tunes across multiple genres. Catch any of their live performances and you'll find them moving seamlessly from Folk to Americana, to Blues, to Rock, to Latin ballads. Yet it all manages to sound cohesive - "strangely familiar" as one fan called it - and all part of the experience. Their original compositions have memorable melodies that stand on their own, yielding an unmistakably musical foundation for his quirky and compelling lyrics. Goldy & Foss deliver musical hooks, deft arrangements, and lush horn parts that provide a "just right" touch of color to support the emotional core of each song.

Maverick Granddaughter Composer and singer-songwriter Kaley Lane Eaton’s new chamber folk song cycle Maverick Granddaughter imagines the lives of her maternal line: six generations of only daughters born and raised in the Boulder Valley of present-day Montana, challenged and shaped by the land they encountered over a span of 165 years. Like the folk songs, family stories, and local wisdom that inspire it, Maverick Granddaughter rewrites the romance of the Wild West and presents us with realism: a humbling equality where the land wins, and the people on the side of it prevail.
