There are plenty of places to hear local talent, but one of the best is WilMar Neighborhood Center s Wild Hog in the Woods Coffee House most Friday nights. Farther afield there s the Caf Carpe in Fort Atkinson, featuring local and nationally known bands. One of the most important engines of folk music for 30 years has been Folklore Village near Dodgeville, with frequent concerts and dancing most Saturday nights. Folk music lovers can also tune to the radio. Simply Folk airs Sundays at 5 p.m., with attention to Madison s own.
Many groups have several CDs to their credit, too.
