Northwest Folk Music Concert Calendar
(Seattle and Eastside)
by Richard Gillmann

December 13, 2025

Folk music concerts in Seattle, the Eastside and nearby areas.

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. The Real Folk is also available as a podcast 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?

Goldy & Foss

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.
