Where can I buy or sell a banjo, fiddle, guitar, etc.?
The FolkWorks website has a Resource section that has a Stores category. This section features stores that sell instruments. There is also a category for Instrument Makers and Repairs, so this is also a good place to look. Finally, the Internet Groups section has online groups that have a lot of discussion about instruments so check there.
Where can I find old-time fiddle or banjo teachers?
Click on Resources from the main horizontal menu. There is a category Instructors. You will find them there… and you can list yourself if you are a teacher.
How can I find a local contra and other folk dances?
Once COVID restrictions on public dances are behind us, there are two places on the FolkWorks website to look for dances. The Events Calendar section has a Category for Dances and Subcategories for the particular type of dance that you are looking for. Use this filter plus the location filter to find dances. Also, the Resources section has listings for Ongoing Dances. Check there as well.
How do I become a member of FolkWorks?
FolkWorks is not a membership organization. We did have “memberships” prior to COVID but have moved to a Donation base. We no longer have the “benefits” that came with membership (few with COVID) but do give recognition to all donors on our annual donor wall and will from time to time have free tickets. We encourage you to continue to support FolkWorks by donating here.
What kinds of concerts are available this month online?
The FolkWorks calendar has a filter for Virtual Events. Use that filter to find them.
Where do I sign up for the monthly newsletter?
There is a envelope button on the top right hand corner plus a JOIN OUR EMAIL COMMUNITY section on the home page. Fill out the form and you will be added to the email list. We generally send out only one email per month. We respect your privacy and protect all data that is sent to us. We do not and will never sell or share that information.
