The Folk Project of New Jersey is a not-for-profit folk music, storytelling and dance organization which sponsors or organizes a wide variety of folk activities in the Northern New Jersey area.

For more than 35 years, the Folk Project has promoted folk music through activities including the weekly Minstrel Coffeehouse in Morristown; the Swingin’ Tern contra dance in Chatham; twice-yearly folk festivals held at a camp in the woods of northwest New jersey, monthly music parties held in members' homes, occasional Special Concerts, the New Jersey Storytelling Festival, and the cable TV show "...Horses Sing None of it!"

Local, national and international artists are featured at Folk Project events, including luminaries such as the Tannehill Weavers, Richard Shindell, Bob Franke, Odetta, Christine Lavin, Roy Book Binder, Dave Van Ronk, U. Utah Phillips and many, many more. Folk Project members such 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 the "Projectiles".

The Folk Project has been featured in articles in such publications as the Newark Star-Ledger, the Bergen Record and Morristown Daily Record.

Even more, the Folk Project welcomes people who like the play music -- maybe for profit, but also just for fun. "Projectiles," as members are known, think there's no better way to spend an evening than to sit around playing music.
-In a society that increasingly relies on mass-marketed, pre-packaged, passive entertainment, the Folk Project supports full participation in music and dance, originality and self-expression.
 The Folk Project has been featured in articles in such publications as the Newark Star-Ledger, the Bergen Record and Morristown Daily Record.
