Club Information
A Brief History of the Club
The Cochrane Valley Folk Club is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization, dedicated to presenting original, authentic, live, concert-format music in Cochrane, Alberta. The folk club first met in the Cochrane Boys and Girls Club in 2000, where local artists performed for crowds of fifty to seventy-five people. From this humble beginning, the club has evolved into a strong performing venue, featuring major internationally touring artists who perform for crowds of up to 250 enthusiastic, rapt listeners in the small intimate atmosphere of the picturesque Cochrane RancheHouse.
Stellar entertainment, first-rate production, and dedicated volunteers have contributed to the club's consistent growth and reputation. Be it folk, blues, roots, or world music, the club's monthly concerts are a great source of musical entertainment.
