Club Passim

In 1965 I heard @bobdylan sing Mr. Tambourine Man. Made me want to be a writer. In 1991, I wrote about Dylan’s 50th birthday for @AP Tonight I went to @clubpassim in Cambridge, Mass., an early Dylan venue, for my first time. Saw Faux Paws, a hugely talented band. Genius survives.

@clubpassim 🧵 3/4 “I think having the job of being a singer, a songwriter, and getting to go through the channels of a place like Passim, definitely lined me up in the right place, without me probably being aware of it. It gave me a great foundation.”

🎶 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: @PattyGMusic Patty Griffin is a Grammy Award-winning folk singer-songwriter who received the Lifetime Achievement Award for Songwriting from the Americana Music Association in 2023. 🧵 1/4

@clubpassim created The Folk Collective in 2022 to challenge the narrow representation in folk music. Watch this @CharlesRiverMus talk to learn about the historical roots of folk music and why the genre has been narrowly defined. bit.ly/3RDRXJV
