Sing and Play with Newton Folk Music

Please join us to sing and play a wide range of folk music, from traditional to contemporary, in a low-key, warm, and friendly environment. Check out some of our previous repertoire here:

Going around the circle, which is typically 6 to 12 people, we each take a turn suggesting a song, and usually leading it. (You can always pass, of course, and the co-organizers are here to help.) We sometimes use Rise Up Singing as a source, especially for simple 3-chord tunes, so bring that book along if you have it. If you’d like to lead a song more complex in chord structure, please bring multiple copies of printed music for the group. (We prefer to have lyrics with chord notations throughout the song or full sheet music.)

Singers and instrumentalists of all levels are welcome, and there is a digital piano available at our indoor venue. You can come 15 minutes early to tune or unpack if you wish. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the organizers by using the Eventbrite contact link or emailing us at events@newtonfolk.org.

IMPORTANT: If you register for the event and it turns out you can’t make it, please cancel your ticket or email us at events@newtonfolk.org to let us know so we can give your spot to someone else.
