Pete’s Posse
The 44th annual Fox Valley Folk Music and Storytelling Festival, which will be Saturday through Monday, Sept. 5-7, will be entirely online this year.
Many artists will be safely performing from their homes. This is a chance to enjoy their music and stories, purchase CDs and products, and donate generously to help support the artists who bring so much to their fans’ lives, especially during this difficult time for touring performing artists.
Saturday events
On Saturday, the Main Stage will feature a livestreamed singalong and open jam by Plank Road Folk Music Society from 2 to 4 p.m., also hosted by Two Way Street.
From 6 to 7 p.m., Pete’s Posse will kick off the evening’s concerts. Links to the livestream performances, unless otherwise noted, will be posted soon at FVFS.org.
Starting at 7 p.m., the performers will be Carolyn Thomas-Davidoff, Sally Rogers, Trillium, Sarah McQuaid, and Tim Grimm.
