The Folk Sessions 2017-2018 season features one of Hollywood’s most iconic actors (and villians), an A-List Grammy-nominated Nashville songwriter, Bluegrass from The Bay, a Gitjo, and the Folk Sessions 15th Anniversary Celebration. We will also have our 2nd sing-a-long concert, and our first “Acoustic Christmas.”
The season opens September 16 with Grammy nominated songwriter Sally Barris and the “achingly beautiful” Rebecca Folsom sharing the stage at the Elks Theater.
On November 10 the Elks hosts Ronny Cox, the superbly talented musician, actor and storyteller who, from his legendary role in Deliverance to roles in films like Beverly Hills Cop, Total Recall, Star Trek and RoboCop, has been consistently active in the music world and Hollywood for over 40 years.

This is the eight year of the Folk Sessions wonderful partnership with Prescott Center for the Arts.
