Little Rock Folk Club is dedicated to preserving the link between the musical traditions of the Old and New Worlds. Little Rock Folk Club was founded June 12th 1989 by several diehard fans of U.K. and Irish music in the Little Rock area and is Little Rock's oldest 'bridge' between the Old and New World musical traditions. During the intervening years we have produced numerous concerts by some of the best and most enduring musicians in that genre. This includes strictly traditional artists and songwriters/composers working in that genre. LRFC is a 501(c)(3) organization. We welcome sponsorship, donations and input from others sharing our interests. Coming Up Next at LRFC@Hibernia Irish Tavern FRI Apr 13th at
7:30pm Tickets on line NOW!

- making a most welcomed return visit to LRFC, Grammy Award winner Mollie O'Brien became known to the rest
of the world as a singer's singer when, in 1988, she and her brother Tim released the first of three critically-acclaimed
albums for Sugar Hill Records (Take Me Back, Remember Me and Away Out On The Mountain). Eventually, Mollie recorded five
equally well-received solo albums (Tell It True, Big Red Sun and Things I Gave Away for Sugar Hill Records, and I Never
Move Too Soon and Every Night In The Week for Resounding Records). Additionally, she was a regular on the
nationally-syndicated radio show, "A Prairie Home Companion" from 2001 through 2005. She's long been known as a singer
who doesn't recognize a lot of musical boundaries, and audiences love her fluid ability to make herself at home in any
genre while never sacrificing the essence of the song she tackles. O'Brien has primarily focused her efforts on the
fading art of interpretation and the end result is a singer at the very top of her game who is not afraid to take risks
both vocally and in the material she chooses. Husband Rich Moore has busied himself in the Colorado music scene for many
years. While staying home with the kids when Mollie & Tim toured, he held a day job and continued to perform locally with
a variety of Colorado favorites, including Pete Wernick and Celeste Krenz. Not only is Moore known to produce some of
the funniest onstage running commentary, he's also a powerhouse guitar player who can keep up with O'Brien's twists
and turns from blues to traditional folk to jazz to rock and roll. He creates a band with just his guitar and, as a
result, theirs is an equal partnership. ***Limited Tickets Available!*** All concerts begin at
