Folk music concerts in Seattle, the Eastside and nearby areas.
I was the host of "The Real Folk" on 91.3fm KBCS in Bellevue. The last ten episodes of The Real Folk are still available as podcasts from MixCloud.
What is folk music? To me, it's acoustic music with an emphasis on traditional music, songwriting and storytelling, plus music from various cultures. Genres include contemporary singer/songwriter, bluegrass, old-time, Celtic, blues, roots, Americana, and more.
This calendar is scraped from the websites of local presenters and venues. Calendar entries cannot be submitted directly, only by the presenters and venues themselves when they post them on their calendars.
Some venues don't have online calendars, or have ones that are too difficult to scrape. I include as many as I can. Comments?
