Folk Fight

About Me



Folk Fight is a non-profit acoustic music showcase of Knoxville/regional musicians. The participants range from local rockers to folkies to experimentalists. We maintain a listening room environment.

Folk Fight is about being alive, and being able to play the music that makes us happy. We count Simplicity, Natural Volume, and Free Expression amongst our favorite tenets, and make every effort to celebrate them in each show.
