UPCOMING GIGS
St. Patrick's Night
The White Hart
12th & Main St., Lynchburg
Wednesday 17 March
7:00 - ? PM
We couldn't miss St. Pat's! The White Hart Cafe
(
info & map) is a great little eatery in downtown Lynchburg and perfect for a night of folk music (including
especially the Irish kind!). Come see us, have an appropriate beverage, and sing along if you know the words. It's
going to be great fun! We'll play until they tell us to stop or throw us out ...
Clam Diggers
Open Mic
Every Tuesday
7:00 - 9:00 PM
The Folk are jammin' every Tuesday at Clam Diggers in Bridge St. This is "Open Mic without the Mic", and we're
trying out new material, new arrangements, jamming with other musicians, doing solos ... just having a
good time. The seafood is excellent, the acoustics are great! If you want to play, come on out & bring
your instrument. If you just want to eat, THIS is the place right now in Bedford. See you there!
Watch for us ...
Check our our new blog! This is a
normal, moderated blog with comment sections for you to talk back, share, etc. The subject could
be music ... or politics, theology, random musings ... you never know! Mostly it will be the Folk
doing the posting, but we may have some occasional guest-bloggers. (Contact us if you want to guest-author
something) Just more Folk fun!

Who We Are
We're a collection of folk musicians in the Bedford, Virginia area.
Our music is a blend of traditional acoustic folk, innovative vocals and arrangements,
and electric edge.
We've all got day jobs, but music is our passion.
Learn more about who we are.
What We Do
We take a non-traditional approach to folk music. We start with genre material from
American folk, folk/rock, Country&Western, Irish, Scottish, Canadian, poems,
lyrical ballads, and original songwriters and then spin up our own take on it,
using stylistic influences from blues, ragtime, R&B, rock, gospel, Celtic,
and the folk ballad tradition.

G-Folk's CD ... Available locally & at shows ...
Given the state of the economy,
we bring you high-quality bargain folk music ... $5!
Folks are struggling ... and we are too! But that's no reason not to have good folk music.
Drop us a line and get a couple, and spread the Folk even in hard times.
