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.
Event Calendar
Sing-Along Every 1st Sunday 4-6pm at Nahalat Shalom
Free! In person, or by Zoom!
Nahalat Shalom
3606 Rio Grande Blvd NW
Albuquerque, NM 87107
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.
