Concerts
FSSGB produces an annual concert series which emphasizes fine traditional performers and interpreters of traditional music. Over the years our concerts have featured a wide variety of performers, including Pete Seeger, Kilby Snow, Gordon Bok, Elizabeth Cotten, Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, Bessie Jones, and Jean Ritchie. Many times we present performers who would not otherwise have the opportunitity to be heard in the Boston area. Our concerts are often held in small, intimate spaces, enabling performers to reach the audience in a way that is not possible in more formal settings. FSSGB audiences are attentive, enthusiastic, and eager to participate. An FSSGB concert is a warm, cozy evening, as well as a night of topnotch folk music.
Singing Parties
Tired of singing all by yourself in the shower? FSSGB offers many opportunities for its members to make music together. Midweek sings, trad swaps and monthly singing parties (usually accompanied by a pot-luck supper) are held in various members’ homes around the Boston area. Members are encouraged to bring songs to share. Instruments and friends are welcome as well. These gatherings are the perfect place to try out your favorite tune, to lead a song or simply join the chorus.
