WHO ARE WE?
The Walla Walla Friends of Acoustic Music is an organization which supports and promotes acoustic music in many forms; folk, traditional fiddling styles, jazz, chamber music, string band music, Irish, Scottish, bluegrass and many others. We also support many forms of folk and traditional community dance.
Acoustic Music is played on instruments which are not electronically modified. (For concerts and dances the music is amplified with microphones to project the sound to a large audience).
Public, Old-time dances are held generally the third Saturday of every month. They feature live music and include traditional square dances, circles, country or contra dances, cajun, swing and other forms of social dancing. Children are welcome--it’s a great family experience. No alcohol is allowed, but bring snacks to share. Dance your socks off!
Concerts are presented which feature many area musicians as well as touring artists.
Coffeehouses are held at least twice a year, co-sponsored by the Walla Walla YWCA. These are open mike nights where area storytellers, singers, songwriters, musicians, writers, poets and dancers of all ages can perform in a relaxed, informal setting. Refreshments are available.
Sing-Alongs are an informal family gathering to sing together a capella or with insturments.
Anyone can join us, and we meet 2-3 times per year.
