Shore Poets events wouldn’t be the same without the excellent musicians who play for us.

We are always on the lookout for quality musicians who would like to perform for our appreciative audiences.

We love traditional and acoustic musicians and singers of all sorts. In the past, we’ve featured traditional players on a wide variety of instruments – everything from small pipes to hurdy gurdy – as well as singers, small jazz and classical groups, blues guitarists, harmonica players, singer/songwriters, and Cajun musicians.

Featured musicians are invited to play three short sets of no more than 10 minutes each. The first set opens up the evening, the second comes before the Shore Poet, and the third closes the evening.

We have recently (2016) been revisiting our ability to pay fees, as well as cover travel expenses, so please feel free to ask us about our current situation.
