Bringing the finest traditional music to Richmond, Virginia
"The friendliest small listening room for acoustic music in Richmond, Virginia..."
Richmond Folk Music was founded in 2005 by a small group of music aficionados who felt that there just weren't enough venues dedicated to acoustic roots music. Since then, we've hosted a wide variety of artists, both international and local, from many different traditions. We especially favor traditional music. In our hectic, modern world with all its technological innovations and frenzied pace, we believe that it is important to keep a place in our hearts for the old songs, tunes, ballads and instruments that are part of our collective heritage.
Our concerts are co-sponsored by and held at Congregation Or-Ami, located at 9400 Huguenot Road in Richmond, Virginia. We provide a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere so that the community may experience superb acoustic music in an intimate setting. There is ample parking, comfortable seating, great acoustics, and the venue is completely accessible to all (no stairs!). During intermission, audience members can converse and mingle while enjoying coffee, tea and pastries.
Over the years, our core audience has developed into a welcoming community for people of all ages, and from all walks of life. We invite you to come and enjoy acoustic music with us - we'll put the coffee on for you!
