Louisville Folk School's Folk Musicians in Residence program brings nationally-recognized folk and traditional artists to Louisville. During their stay, musicians perform at four elementary schools throughout the week and end their stay with a public-facing concert as part of the Spring Concert Series. We’re excited to bring you another season of unforgettable live music.All shows are first-come, first-seated with doors at 6:00 pm and performances at 7:00 pm. Shows at Filson Historical Society will have a cash bar by West Sixth Brewing. For these ticketed concerts, we highly recommend purchasing in advance, as we anticipate all four events could sell out.
