The scene

Folk in New York City right now.

Folk's working address is Red Hook, where the Jalopy Theatre doubles as venue and school, teaching old-time, blues, and international string-band traditions by day and staging them at night, plus the Brooklyn Folk Festival each year. The Village open-mic circuit still exists, but the players, luthiers, and song collectors who actually sustain the scene are on Columbia Street.

New York City

Built for the NYC scene.

The city that never sleeps doesn't wait either. Brooklyn DIY shows, Manhattan studios, Queens collectives — the people who make records here are famously spread across five boroughs. KollabMe brings it all into one app: the producer in Williamsburg, the venue in Bushwick, the photographer in Greenpoint. Discover, message, collab — without the cold-DM dance.

Folk & Singer-songwriter

Built for how folk actually gets made.

Folk and singer-songwriter work runs on intimate collaboration — small rooms, tight tracking dates, careful arrangements. KollabMe is built to find the right co-writer, the upright bass player who reads charts, the engineer who knows how to mic an acoustic guitar properly, and the venue that hosts a 50-person listening room.
