Folk Project members such as Mike Agranoff have performed at large folk festivals such as the Philadelphia Folk Festival and the Champlain Valley Festival in Vermont, and local and regional folk music venues too numerous to count.
The Folk Project is an organization for people who love to hear or play music—folk music in its broadest context, which may include rock and roll as well as traditional genres. Members are known as "Projectiles."
The Folk Project has been featured in articles in such publications as the Newark Star-Ledger, the Bergen Record and Morristown Daily Record.
