91²Ö¿â

The 91²Ö¿â Folk Festival kicks off this week with two Thursday concerts. On Sept. 20 at the Kent Campus, Delhi 2 Dublin will whip the crowd into a folk frenzy with their Celtic-Asian meld, while singer/songwriters John Gorka and Tracy Grammer offer a more reflective show at the Kent Stage. Friday night is Folk Alley ‘Round Town with dozens of free performances throughout the city. It’s the one night each to really let your folk flag fly! Fan favorites Over the Rhine and openers Girlyman take over the Kent Stage for Friday’s mainstage performance.

On Saturday, , immerse yourself in music at free workshops open to the entire community. Topics include clog and Russian dancing (with participation), songwriting, instrument styles, the business of music and much more. Workshops have moved into many of the ‘Round Town venues in downtown this year. The 46th 91²Ö¿â Folk Festival concludes Saturday evening with Legends of Folk featuring singer/songwriters Tom Paxton and John McCuthcheon and the Red Clay Ramblers.
