Jalopy Theatre and School of Music

This is the heart and soul of the folk music scene in New York City, not only can you see live music most every night of the week but you can also study with some of the best practitioners on the scene today, Whether you want to sing, play harmonica, the Banjo, Fiddle, ukulele, you name it they teach it.

can you imagine some of the best musicians of American roots music doing originals and classics but hey lets go pay $150 and sit far away and here music we heard a million time, right. YOU ARE MISSING SOMETHING THAT WILL NEVER BE RECREATED IF YOU DON'T COME HANG OUT HERE. YOU "MIGHT" GET A SO SO NIGHT BUT YOU WILL GET THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE MANY GREAT PERFORMERS THAT GRACE THIS WONDERFUL STAGE THAT ALL MUSICIANS LOVE TO PLAY. hey you can talk to them after the show. ask them yourself. coffee is out of this world great tea reasonably priced beer and wine with full bar and great imaginative comfort food and more music right next door with a back yard. go here and bring friends and participate and have fun. great staff mostly musicians and music teachers. oh yeah you can learn to play from some of the best here too and buy or rent a classic instrument and do the open mic on Tuesday. usually some great music' there too. peace. great job Jeff.

This place is really cool and the service is great and they are kind and pleasant.

The coolest anachronistic music venue ever. It's a lovely little theater where you can experience some real Americana. I loved going to Roots & Ruckus with Feral Foster! I'd planned on eventually taking ukulele classes there, but never got around to it. I did hear that their banjo classes were great though! The owners, Lynette and Geoff are amazing people, super generous and warm hearted. I miss this place!

This is a great, friendly venue! The teachers are all talented musicians and are very personable. They also have a great little coffee and beer bar. Their vintage instruments are all affordable and are full of character. And the concerts and square dances are some of the most fun events in all of Brooklyn! If you love old-time music, country, blues, or folk, coming to Jalopy is always a sure bet. It'd definitely worth the 10 minute walk from the F train at Carroll St.
