Important changes at the Folk Music Society of Huntington:
Effective October 1, 2026 FMSH will no longer present or have involvement in the presentation of the Hard Luck Cafe or any other concerts or events open to the public.
The Hard Luck Cafe will continue under the auspices of the Cinema Arts Centre.
FMSH members will continue to receive a discounted price for Hard Luck Cafe concert tickets purchased at the Cinema Arts Centre box office.
Also, FMSH will cease all association with the monthly Sunday folk jam held at the South Huntington Public Library. The jam may continue under the auspices of the library, and will now be known as the Pidgeon Hill Acoustic Folk Jam.
Message from the President of FMSH
Founded in the late 1960s, the Folk Music Society of Huntington (FMSH) has been in continuous operation for more than 50 years. Running an organization that puts on monthly concerts, a monthly acoustic jam, and an annual folk festival — and supports other events — can be challenging under the best of circumstances.
We have expanded our musical offerings. In addition to our free monthly folk jams at the South Huntington Public Library and the ticketed Hard Luck Café concert series at the Cinema Arts Centre on the third Wednesday of each month, we are delighted to also be partnering with the Cinema Arts Centre in co-presenting the NorthShore Original Open Mic (NOOM) in the Cinema’s Sky Room on two other Wednesdays each month from 7-10 p.m.
Thank you for your support.
