Co-directed by Joy Bennett and Heather Wood, TradMaD Camp is an annual six-day gathering of live music and dance for adults interested in traditional music and dance. Check out the full TradMaD Staff Lists for previous years, which have links to the artists' websites: 2020, which could not happen, but we hope many will be available for 2021, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 . Our staff members are not only performers, they are also teachers who enjoy sharing their knowledge.

Held at the beautiful and historic Pinewoods Camp in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the campers are treated to daily workshops on specific topics (such as traditional ballads), instrument instruction, dances to live music, staff concerts, vocal coaching, camper concerts, jamming, and singing — and much, much more.

The Covid19 pandemic resulted in the postponement of this year's camp, but FOLK MUSIC NOTEBOOK will proudly carry on the spirit of the camp each night as we present concerts from many past and present staff members.
