The Folk Project welcomes you to the Acoustic Getaway, “our little festival.” You are taking
part in a 3-day community and a 40-year tradition. We are as many new members as we
are long-time members. We are as many great musicians as we are non-musicians and
beginners. But we have one thing in common: We’re all here to have a great musical time.
This schedule is filled with entertainment, education, and chances to make music. Think of
it as you would a smorgasbord: You can’t have everything, but there’s plenty to fill up on.
Thanks to the 50-plus Folk Project volunteers who contribute their love, time and work
twice a year to make this happen. And thanks to you for coming. You are The Getaway.
