Sing Out! magazine is your “ ... mail-order folk festival.”

— Roger Deitz, The Aquarian

Each quarterly issue of Sing Out! is a hefty journal packed with articles, news, reviews, commentary and analysis of a stunningly broad range of musical styles, traditional and contemporary, that fit under the broad umbrella of Sing Out!'s definition of folk music: blues, bluegrass, old-time, Celtic, singer-songwriter, world music, Cajun, klezmer, and much, much more. ... PLUS complete lead sheets (melody, chords and lyrics) for 20 songs in each issue ... with an accompanying sampler CD including all of the songs performed by the original artist.

For more than 55 years (since May of 1950!), Sing Out! has been at the center of helping to both preserve and celebrate the best in folk music AND to encourage our readers to MAKE music a part of their everyday lives. There is simply no other music magazine that comes with closer ties to the spirit of community, or with as rich and deep a history, connection and understanding of what makes folk music.

Quite simply: Folk Music Starts Here!!
