Folkmusic scene at Lawrence?

<p>I play fiddle, guitar, and concertina and am trained in the folk tradition rather than classical. is there a good folk music scene at lawrence? (ie. irish music, old time, etc.) Are there jam sessions and such around campus? when i visited appleton i saw there were alot of irish bars, do the bars sponsor sessions? any info is appreciated, thanks so much</p>

<p>I visited last spring and son's friends were playing in clubs, coffee shops restaurants around college avenue. I can speak for that part of your question.</p>

<p>what kind of music do they play?</p>

<p>They played jazz that week. Oh yes, one played piano at a local restaurant. I didn't see the indie folk group. That is what I remember and yes, I saw Jesus Christ Super Star at the Performing Arts center. On campus, there was a lot of singing going on when you walked around. :)</p>

<p>awesome! i really want to go to LU it sounds amazing</p>
