Check out our open stage!
We’re partnering with the Barrie Public Library again to host two monthly open stages. One will be held on the first Tuesday of every month at the downtown location (60 Worsley St.). The second one takes place on the second Wednesday of every month at the Painswick location (48 Deans Ave.) The open stages starts at 6:30 p.m. downtown, and at 6 p.m. at Painswick. KC Patterson is still our friendly host downtown with Jeff Miller hosting in the south end.
Barrie Folk News
An evening with Valdy – Nov. 10
BarrieFolk is excited to welcome back Canadian icon Valdy on Sunday Nov. 10.
Valdy has 16 albums, 22 singles and four gold records. He has won two Juno awards and is one of the country’s purest and most credible storytellers.
Valdy has toured Canada close to 50 years, and plays regularly in New Zealand with Kiwi mate Graham Wardrop. He has also toured Austria, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland, and was an oft-invited performer at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas. He was invested as a member of the Order of Canada in 2012.
He’s a master of country, folk, rock and blues, and his shows are a disarming and practical blend of respect for the audience and show business.
"Valdy's show is a disarming and practical blend of respect for the audience and show business expertise." Edmonton Journal

Open stage
We'd love you to come out to one of our two monthly open stages in partnership with the Barrie Public Library!
We host one on the second Wednesday of the month at the Painswick location near the Zehrs plaza (48 Dean Ave.). It runs from 6 to 8 p.m. Please note that the February open stage will take place on Feb. 13 to avoid any romantic Valentine's Day conflicts.
This will be a more traditional open stage with a sign-up board at the library. Spots will be filled on a first-signed-up basis that evening.
Jeff Miller will be your friendly host. If you want more info on the Wednesday open stage, email Jeff or call him at 705.252.1750.
KC Patterson hosts the open stage at the downtown library location (60 Worsley St.). It takes place on the first Tuesday of the month.
