Musicians of all styles, as well as poets, storytellers, and all creativity welcomed. We invite you to bring announcements and items of interest to share.
Join Us!
NYC Friends of Clearwater is an environmental education organization that believes in celebration through music and community. We are a chartered sloop club of the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, both founded by folk musician and activist Pete Seeger 56 years ago to clean up the Hudson River.
We get together every month on the third Friday at 6:30 p.m. at Judson Memorial Church with live music, environmental discussion, and a potluck. We also are on Zoom so that distant and busy friends can join us.
Note on location: The entrance is at 239 Thompson Street, between 3rd & 4th Streets, just south of Washington Square. Our event is in the basement, so please ring the bell and we’ll buzz you in. @judsonchurchnyc
Subway Info: A,B,C,D,E,F,M to West 4th Street station (at 6th Ave); N, R to 8th Street station (atBroadway); 1 to Christopher Street station (at 7th Avenue).
COVID statement: You are welcome to wear a mask or not, as you choose. However, out of respect for the community, please don’t come if you have recently tested positive for COVID or have symptoms of COVID.
Our NYC Friends of Clearwater gatherings have been on Zoom these past few years and we will still have a basic Zoom link at our in-person meetings for those who wish to join that way (e-mail us for the recurring link). We still want our friends from further away to be able to join us! We hope to have a better hybrid set-up in the future; if anyone has a skill-set in that area your assistance would be appreciated.
