Bringing Legacy To Life

Folk New England would not be possible if not for the wonderful work of the folks who founded New England Folk Music Achieves back in 2011.  Their mission “The New England Folk Music Archives preserves, promotes and documents the ongoing cultural legacy of folk music and its connections to New England through education, collaboration and entertainment” set the foundation of what would soon become Folk New England.  We are grateful.

Our Mission

The mission of Folk New England is to foster appreciation and preservation of the indigenous folk music of the New England area through collection, preservation, and dissemination of both primary and secondary sources.  We work with individuals, families, musicians, scholars, students, and ordinary folk to increase and perpetuate the collection and understanding of the diverse common musical heritage of the region.
