Club Passim Celebrates 60 Years as Boston Folk Music Icon

Club Passim in Harvard Square has been a key venue for folk music for over 60 years, hosting legends like Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, and continues to be a cornerstone of Boston's music scene. In Montreal, The Wheel Club, under new ownership, is reinventing itself beyond its country roots to embrace a wider array of musical genres while retaining its historic charm. Meanwhile, venues across regions, such as Le Pub in Newport and 97 Street Pub in Kelowna, are also fostering local music scenes, showcasing grassroots talent and offering vibrant atmospheres for music lovers. These locations highlight the importance of live music in building community and supporting local artists. As music venues adapt and evolve, they remain integral to cultural expression and social connection in their respective areas. Each venue's unique character reflects the diversity of the music scene across North America.
