House concerts at the Sleepy Hollow Folk Club provide the chance to enjoy live music in an intimate setting.  Our fine performers are drawn from throughout North America and beyond, and appear regularly at clubs, festivals, and other large stages.

The Sleepy Hollow Folk Club venue was highlighted in the October 2002 Washington Post Weekend Section's "House Music" article.

Most performances at the Sleepy Hollow Folk Club consist of two 45-minute sets and always include plenty of opportunities to talk with the musicians. 

We serve plenty of hors d’oeuvres before the show and dessert and coffee between sets.  Any food you would like to bring is welcome, but not required.

Please e-mail us to get on our distribution list for announcements of future concerts.

Performers and agents interested in finding out more about the Sleepy Hollow Folk Club or inquiring about booking a show should contact us directly. We schedule shows for Saturday, or Sunday evenings only, and we usually can provide performers with a comfortable place to stay.

The SHOWS branch a listing of our previous performances.   The COMMUNITY branch provides external links to other sites of interest.  The LOGISTICS branch contains most of the details of finding, attending and booking at the Sleepy Hollow Folk Club.

You can e-mail Norm (  nstewart1@cox.net ) or Beth (  the.mermaid@cox.net ) with questions or comments.
