Folk Night at the Ship is St. John’s longest continually running live music event (it started in 1976!) It regularly draws a sizeable crowd each Wednesday night; sometimes 100 souls and rarely less than 50. The music and performers range from solo songwriters and duos to traditional NL sessions, blues, klezmer, storytellers and all styles in between.
There are sometimes special events such as the Folk Festival Launch, themed evenings, open mic nights and certain Wednesdays of every month reserved for a traditional tune session that often sees a dozen or more players in attendance.
Folk Night at the Ship starts at 9 p.m. (yes, it really does!) and cover on most Wednesday nights is $10, with the exception of tune sessions and certain special events.
