Learn fingerpicking techniques. Hear the stories behind the songs. Or simply catch the Folk Music spirit at our Kent State Folk Festival workshops. Join us as some of Northeast Ohio's finest folk musicians gather for a day of learning, jamming and celebrating all things folk.

Got a song to sing or a tune to play? Then share it with us at the festival's annual talent show, featuring 10 artists or groups competing in the broad spectrum of folk music.

There's still time to sign up to be a part of the competition. Simply click the sign up button below, fill out the form and press submit. The Kent State Folk Festival team will be in touch with you if you've been selected to perform at the 2009 talent show. Good luck!
