Green Apple Folk Music Society

It’s time for musicians to start signing up for the annual Holiday Hoot on December 7, 2024 at Mosquito Hill Nature Center. Each act may perform up to two holiday-related numbers and have another in reserve in case time allows. To reserve a slot, send an email to Dan Geddes at [email protected]

We’re also looking for help for set-up and take-down, intermission treats, and manning the ticket table.

As has been the tradition, we’re planning on giving away a lot of door prizes. Donations of green apple related, holiday themed, or musical items can be brought with you that night and dropped off.

Green Apple favorites The Crystal River Trio will perform at Mosquito Hill in New London, WI on Friday, October 18th at 7:00 PM to celebrate the nature center’s 50th anniversary. This is a benefit show sponsored by Green Apple. All proceeds will go to Mosquito Hill Nature Center. Spread the word!

Mustard’s Retreat on Friday, April 26 and other coming Green Apple Folk Music Society events.

Mustard’s Retreat has been delighting audiences by telling stories for 40 years — they are witty, insightful, fun, and profound, as well as accomplished songwriters and musicians (guitars, dulcimer, electric bass, mandolin, harmonica, pennywhistle). They will give you things to laugh about and think about for days to come and remember for years.
