ABQ FOLK FEST Events
Our major event each year is the Albuquerque Folk Festival itself. But we produce and participate in other events throughout the year. Here are some upcoming events.
Monthly Jam!
ON HOLD – B2B closed its doors and we are looking for an alternative
Old-Time Acoustic Jam Every 3rd Sunday
The Albuquerque Folk Festival Old-Time Jam will be hosted by Jason Sewell and band members. It will take place every third Sunday of the month from 4:00-6:00 at B2B Garden Brewery (8338 Comanche NE, near Wyoming). The jam is open to all. So, tune up your instruments and your voices and join us every third Sunday. See you there!
Monthly Sing-Along!
B2B closed its doors and we are looking for an alternative, and scheduling a month at a time
Sing-Along Sunday, February 4, 2024, 4-6pm at Nahalat Shalom
Free! In person, or by Zoom!
Nahalat Shalom

We have lots of songs of hope on our list. And some songs of uncertainty and concern for our friends and fellow human beings and love songs. You’ll pick the songs. We’ll all sing.
The formula for the 1st Sunday of the month Sing-Along is 1) a list of familiar and very sing-able songs, 2) comfortable keys accompanied by guitar back up and, 3) lyric sheets (who remembers all of the words?), 4) we'll sing out strong, so you feel comfortable singing too.
If you can’t make this one, join us next time! Dan holds a Sing-Along every first Sunday of the month.
Sing-Along leader Dan Matthews has led small sing-alongs at Albuquerque Folk Fest for many years. In 2010, he was invited to put together a main stage Sing-Along tribute to Pete Seeger. A posse of friends with strong voices has led scores of people in rousing, meaningful and joyous song each year since. Dan’s joy is singing with people, not singing for people… whether it's a song circle, the 1st Sunday Sing-Alongs, or at the ABQ FOLK FEST.
Here is the Song Book link for those who’d like to print their own copy before the Sing Along starts; this way you can plan your favorite selections in advance.
We'll also try to do this by Zoom.
