The Folk Project – Open Stage

The Folk Project is New Jersey’s leading acoustic music and dance organization. It is a community of over 400 music lovers, musicians and dancers. Our member volunteers have been showcasing acoustic and traditional music in North Jersey for over 40 years. We invite you to join our audiences, enjoy our shows, and become a part of our dynamic, nonprofit organization.

Project volunteers present more than 100 events annually, with a unique mix of homegrown and nationally acclaimed performers. We present music styles that go well beyond what you may consider traditional American folk music, including blues, swing, gospel, jazz, sea chantey, Irish, vaudeville, doo-wop, gypsy, jug band and rock ‘n’roll. Musicians come from as close as our local Jersey neighborhoods to as far away as Europe and China.
