Monthly Portland Filk Song Circles

YOU are our performers!  

During your turn at a Bardic Circle you may:

• Pick - request a song or performer
• Pass - just listen
• Play - perform a song

Later, if there is interest, we may switch to a form of Moderated Chaos which allows performers to jump in with followers or change the subject with a new song category -- but discourages the filk hog who won't let others play.

Remember, ANYTHING performed in a filk song circle is filk!  Filk music may include folk songs, songs about cats, songs about traffic jams, train wrecks, sea chanteys, technology, science fiction & fantasy have all been welcomed at the circle.  

Listeners are also welcome if you'd like to hear filk music but would rather not sing -- although you are encouraged sing along on choruses!

Our Portland, Oregon Filk Song Circles are held on the first Saturday of each month (but check the  event  calendar  below  for  changes).

NOTE:  UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE OUR SONG CIRCLES WILL BE VIRTUAL DUE TO THE PANDEMIC!

See event details on calendar listings below.

The venue which is currently closed due to the pandemic, is the 

Knights of Pythias Lodge at 

5400 SE 84th Ct 

Portland OR  97266

The gate to the fenced parking lot is behind the Big 5 Sporting Goods store at SE 82nd and Foster.  There is a ramp, but it is an old building and is not wheelchair accessible.

There is a $5 per person donation for the lodge upkeep.

Bring your own food, drinks and snacks.  If you bring it in, you MUST pack it out.
