"Give
me heaven for the climate,
Old Songs for the company.
The music is probably pretty
much the same in both places."
– Patrick
Ball
"The
Old Songs Festival means
great audiences, awesome
performers full
of integrity and
sincerity, and a weekend filled
with community spirit
and pure joy! "
– Eileen Carson Schatz

"Old
Songs is the best real Folk Festival in the country!"

"As
a kid, I lived and breathed Old Songs almost as much as my parents
did. It shaped my musical and artistic tastes, my love for live performance
and my sense of tradition, community and family. Old Songs is that
thing I grew up with, that thing my parents do that makes them cool,
and that thing I always look forward to each year. It feels deeply
familiar. It’s Home."
