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

October 30, 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?
