Folknotes is published monthly by the Sounding Board, Inc., an all-volunteer non-profit organization. We include listings for folk music concerts, festivals, radio programs, etc., that occur in Connecticut and the southern New England area. We can sometimes include flyers in the printed version of the newsletter for a small donation ($20 per side, must provide camera-ready artwork or a computer file); please contact the editor at 203-272-8404 as far in advance as practical. We also accept folk music related classified ads from Sounding Board members with no charge. The deadline for the printed version of the newsletter is the 20th day of each month.
