Dear Friend,

I first became aware of Peterborough Folk Music nearly 25 years ago when, as regular attendees of many Boston-area folk venues and coffeehouses, we would see our favorite artists' upcoming shows in Peterborough, NH, and think, “We wish it were closer – they have some awesome shows!”

Five years ago and two moves later, we landed in PFM’s backyard. Many factors came into play in deciding on the Monanock Region for our new home, but don’t think for a moment that there wasn’t a twinge of excitement about the possibility of culture and folk music right nearby.

After attending several shows, I offered my services – moving chairs or whatever was needed. I didn’t hesitate when Deb called this spring to ask if I’d be interested in volunteering at the door, nor did I hesitate not long after when she asked if I would join the board.

Peterborough Folk Music is a hidden gem in a quiet corner of New Hampshire. There are few rural areas where you can see established legends like Tom Rush, Chris Smither, or Iris DeMent; perennial favorites Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem, Catie Curtis, or Peter Mulvey; or rising indie-folk artists like Low Lily, Antje Duvekot, and Seth Glier. That level of live music in a small community doesn't happen by accident.

Our mission is to support these artists by bringing the most innovative, entertaining, and diverse musicians to the Monadnock Region. Your tax-deductible support allows us to continue bringing quality music to your backyard, support your favorite (and soon-to-be favorite) folk artists, and keep providing those intimate spaces where real community happens.

Will you join us in that mission today? You can make your gift using the enclosed envelope or online at pfmsconcerts.org/donate.

Thanks for being part of the PFM family - I hope to see you at a show real soon! In song and community,

 Paul Allen-Webber
