Folk and Storytelling at The Glasshouse

Roots, traditional, country, Americana, blues, bluegrass, acoustic, experimental, worldwide or very, very local…

Louis Armstrong once said “All music is Folk music” and we have to agree.

The Glasshouse has a history – and a future – with the wide world of Folk in its many forms. We’re here for each generation of fans and players who discover the tradition of storytelling songs. Whether its faithful versions of songs stretching through a community or a tradition that gets a new twist with each artist that touches it, we’ve got gigs to enjoy, classes and groups to join and playlists of exciting new artists to discover.
