Get together with fellow folk fans and help us raise the roof twice a month! IF YOU KNOW FOLK MUSIC, SING IT LOUD AND PROUD AND/OR PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU!!! We take turns selecting a song for the group to sing and play (passing's OK). Most of our songs come from the Rise Up Singing book, so if you have a copy, bring it along. (If you don't, you can borrow or buy one from us.) You also have the option of going solo or handing out lyrics to a song not in the book. Whatever …

This group is dedicated to vinyl records appreciation. The plan is to just bring in a variety of records then all meet up at a local bar that has agreed to let us play them. Viola! We all show up and get a drink at the bar and groove to some tunes and talk/share knowlege. I had originally planned for music of 60's/70's because that is what I know best. But I think there is SO Much good music out there that is being lost or forgotten. So I'd like to open it up to Classical, Jazz, comedy, 20's 30 …

The Art of the Didgeridoo The didgeridoo is perhaps the oldest wind instrument in the world. It is said to have originated with the aboriginal people of Australia 40,000 years ago and has since spread throughout the world and it has become an integral part of New Age culture. The sound has been described as earthy, primitive, haunting, mysterious, funky, and its effects have been called meditative, relaxing and healing. It is wonderful to hear the droning sound of the didgeridoo, and it certai …
The Northern Virginia Musicians Workshop is a monthly event where musicians of ALL skill levels can practice the Art of Performing in front of an audience and share feedback with encouraging peers. I think it's different (but not better) than a jam or a song circle, because it was created to provide you the platform to try out new songs, covers and stories in a low-stress environment. Jerad Walker of WAMU 88.5 Bluegrass Country describes it like "Toastmasters for musicians." And it totally is. …

… I'm sure that folks that have been on meet-ups know how much of a wild card it can be [no-shows, Debbie Downers, antisocial, stalkers, other personalities, plain old weird (; ].

We're not looking for our twins (heck, we are sooo different from each other), rather folks who can add to the group in any positive way. Remember, girls, CONFIDENCE is sexy. It' …
