Come to perform, jam, or just watch and listen! We promise fun and flavorful folk music. Amateur and professional folk musicians and students alike are invited to perform on the Open Stage and share your musical gifts with the rest of us.
This is a community-building day to support our parent organization, the North East Ohio Music Heritage Association. Our expenses for putting on Blue Sky events are NOT fully covered by gate receipts and we depend on donors and sponsors like you. In fact, after three years of great weather, a late March snowstorm for our Missy Raines concert, and then a cold rainy day for our May folk festival put us solidly in the. . .red. Ouch.
The Blue Sky Benefit & Folk Jam will be held on the grounds of East Shore Unitarian Universalist Church, 10848 Chillicothe Road (Route 306 one-half mile south of Route 6), Kirtland, Ohio 44094. Questions? Call 440-417-2796 or email contact@blueskyfolkfest.com. See you there!
Donations needed for auction
Please consider donating a product or service for our September 27 Chinese auction at the Folk Jam. It’s a great way to promote your business or an organization. Some auction ideas: tickets to events, baskets of goodies, gift certificates, your art work, a CD of your music, etc. Contact Jerie Green at 440-417-2796 or jgreen@lakenetwork.net with the specifics by September 20.
