The Folk Store - closed

The Bluegrass Jam this month has been held over until March. The host is out of town, and we are in the process of switching the space from retail to a community gathering space. See you all in March!

Kansas City Folk Fest (the Music Fair) - Folk Alliance International

It was a good run…

Following 2 and a half years of operation The Folk Store is unfortunately closing its doors due to continued low sales.

Folk Alliance International, (the 501c3 that owns and operated the store) will continue to operation its office out of the same location.
The store was an interesting experiment, but FAI plans to focus its efforts on more “mission related” community outreach activities and professional development for the music community.
As of March 1 the store space will be used exclusively for these community gatherings (lessons, jams, concerts, masterclasses, meetings)

Thanks to everyone for your support of the store during its short run.

Meanwhile… don’t miss the launch of the Kansas City Folk Festival (Sunday Feb 21st, 10-5pm, Westin Crown Center)

Sincerely,

Cody Wyoming, Store Associate

and the staff of Folk Alliance International
