We like to provide a niche for music not commonly heard in the folk music scene around Seattle. While our mission is to promote the more traditional folk music, we view this in a very broad sense. We are particularly interested in bringing local musicians to our stage, but also welcome out-of-area musicians looking for an intimate concert venue not readily available in the Seattle area \u2013 see \u201c<em><a href=\"http:\/\/pnwfolklore.org\/wp\/index.php\/bookings-pacific-northwest-folklore-society\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bookings \u2013 Pacific Northwest Folklore Society<\/a><\/em>.\u201d I find it more difficult to find new artists, both local and from out of town, to bring to our stage at the Couth Buzzard.
