Join Newton Folk Music at the Newton Free Library to sing and play a wide range of folk music, from traditional to contemporary, in a low-key, warm, and friendly environment.
Singers and instrumentalists of all levels are welcome. Going around the circle, everyone will have the chance to suggest a song—and usually to lead it. You can always pass, of course, and the organizers are here to help.
Printed songbooks with selected favorites will be provided for participants to use during the session, or you can bring a tablet to reference an electronic version. Newton Folk Music also sometimes uses the book Rise Up Singing as a source, especially for simple 3-chord tunes, so bring that along if you have a copy. For less familiar or more complex songs not in our songbook, the group likes to play from paper handouts.
This program is geared towards adults. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the organizers at events@newtonfolk.org.
