The Getaway Friday, September 27th, with a pot-luck dinner, and runs so late on Sunday night that we serve breakfast on Monday morning, September 30th.

The Getaway is an amazing weekend-long party of folks who love to sing, play and listen to folk music. We come together in a lovely riverside retreat to join together in making music, sharing what we bring and learning from friends old and new. There will be workshops, sing-arounds, sign-up concerts, music and conversations at all hours. Participation is encouraged at any level comfortable to you in a supportive and welcoming environment. Old and new songs and tunes, recitations and stories, along with information on historical contexts and insights, have filled the Getaway, along with conversation and laughter, for over half a century; come be a part of the fun!

2024 invited guests include Sally Rogers and Howie Bursen, Bare Bones (Bill and Becky Kimmons, Dock Cutlip), David Jones, and Marcy Cochran.

Registration is now open. Although the Getaway will not occur until the weekend of September 27 - September 30, 2024, it is helpful if you can register soon. You do not need to pay immediately, but we expect you to view registration as a commitment. If you have not paid in full by September 10 we will remind you. If you have not paid or made arrangements with us by September 13 we will cancel your registration without refund.

Please fill out the entire registration form. We pay close attention to what you write; we use this information to plan workshops and assign rooms.
