Local Folk! is back

Local Folk!, the Corvallis Folklore Society’s open mic program, is ready to
begin again on Thursday, April 3rd, 2025.

Local Folk! is a free, monthly, open mic (without the mic!) program of
local artists offering a wide variety of music, including original creations. There is no requirement to play and anyone is invited to just come and enjoy the music.

We have a new location at TROUBADOR MUSIC CENTER, 521 SW 2nd St, Corvallis.
Shari Ame is the new manager of the event. She can be contacted at shariame@gmail.com. Ryan Buys is the operator of the shop who is allowing
the use of his place for this CFS offering. We anticipate this to be a monthly event, every first Thursday of the month.

Doors will open at 6:45pm and folks can sign up to perform at that time.
Performances will be from 7pm-9pm. We will conduct shared performances for
approximately two hours without a break, though people are free to move around.

This is an entirely acoustic event, without amplification. Each performer or performance group will have a maximum time allotment of 15 minutes to perform up to three songs, as in the past. We do not have a piano available at this time but if someone is able to help by providing a keyboard, that would be great. Contact Shari. And contact her if you would like to help.

This is a free event, open to the public.
We do ask for a $5 donation to help defray the costs of the facility.
Come share your music with us!
