Women In Folk is back — and bigger than ever! 🌟 (Français suit)
Women in Folk is a three-night International Women’s Day celebration honoring the women whose voices, stories, and leadership shape our folk music community.
Following a sold-out debut last year, The Women In Folk local showcase returns on International Women’s Day with an unforgettable evening of music, storytelling, and community—celebrating the incredible women shaping our local folk scene.
As a proud woman-owned small business, International Women’s Day holds extra meaning for us — it’s a time to uplift voices, share stories, and honor the resilience and creativity of women in folk music and beyond.
This special showcase shines a spotlight on some of our favourite local female powerhouses performing intimate sets of two to three songs each, weaving together music and personal stories from their journeys in the industry. Performers will also come together for special collaborative duets, creating unique, one-of-a-kind moments you won’t hear anywhere else.
Women In Folk is more than a concert—it’s a space to listen deeply, connect with the artists behind the music, and celebrate the resilience, creativity, and strength it takes to build a life in music. Set in a warm and welcoming environment, this showcase invites audiences into honest reflections, shared experience, and community connection.
We are also proud to support Voice Found, a charity dedicated to survivors of human trafficking and childhood sexual abuse. $3 from every ticket sold will be donated to Voice Found, with additional donations welcomed throughout the evening.
This year, we’re thrilled to expand our celebration of International Women’s Day into a full Women In Folk series here at Motel Chelsea! Check out the other two special events on March 6th & 7th on our page or www.motelchelsea.com/love-live
