Old Fashioned Hootenanny at Denver Folk Center
Denver has been home to Hootenannies for years, beginning with original Folklore Center, where music lovers would hang out, play music, swap songs, socialize, tell tales and while away the evenings in a haze of good music and good company. Now, the Denver Folk Center invites you to their hootenannies, a combination open stage, mass sing-a-long and groovin' good time, in the cozy Tuft Theater, the hootenanny is set up like an open stage, with a signup sheet (sign-up starts at 6:30 p.m.) and a hoot leader. The cost is $3, pay or play - be sure to bring your instrument. It's a chance to join in the centuries-old tradition of sharing musical ideas with like-minded folks. An old-fashioned hootenanny is the best possible place to learn new songs and new licks, and to hear old songs performed in entirely new ways.
