The Folk Song Society of Greater Boston is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization of people interested in folk music: its traditional origins and sources and its current expressions. We are dedicated to providing opportunities for everyone to make, enjoy, and support this music. Membership in the Folk Song Society offers you reduced admission to FSSGB concerts, attendance at singing parties and special events, a free subscription to the Folk Letter, and regular announcements of FSSGB events.

Our roughly 300 members include open and overlapping communities of singers, pickers, scholars, and friends gathering in many forms. We sponsor:
  • House concerts and special events
  • Group singing events
  • Participatory workshops
  • An extensive library of folk music (hosted at the New England Conservatory)
