The Jalopy Theatre & School of Music

The Jalopy Theatre and School of Music is a home for music and music-makers: a multi-faceted arts space celebrating traditional folk music through live performances and communal learning. We showcase folk, roots, bluegrass, country, blues and traditional world music at our live concerts, the Brooklyn Folk Festival and other music festivals, and through our record label, Jalopy Records. We also offer classes and performing ensembles for youth, outreach in local schools, and group instruction and workshops for adults. We support folk artists by providing not only a stage for performance, but also employment: folk artists teach our classes, work in the Theatre as sound engineers and bartenders. We also offer learning opportunities to high school and college interns from across New York City who are interested in traditional arts and the music business.
