Blues, country and folk concerts in Paris

69 blues, country & folk concerts in Paris, across 48 venues — 6 of them free. Listings updated on .

This is one of the quietest corners of the Paris calendar, and one of the most rewarding. Upcoming listings concentrate on human-sized rooms — Supersonic, Le Melville, New Morning, 38Riv Jazz Club, Sunside — with occasional stops in larger halls such as Le Trianon or La Cigale when an established figure of the genre passes through. Few very large capacities, then, and many evenings where you listen to playing rather than watch a production.

That smaller scale has concrete effects. Prices are among the most affordable in the catalogue, with no seating categories to weigh up. The venues involved often announce only weeks ahead, which keeps the list moving. And because many of these concerts draw a small, loyal crowd, they sell out without any outward sign: actual availability is not something we collect, only the ticket seller holds it.

You will find here every blues, country and folk date announced in Paris, sorted by date, each with its venue, start time and a link to the official or partner ticket seller. The boundaries between these three repertoires are porous and we group them deliberately: the description on each listing says what is actually being played. If nothing suits, the venue pages listed above let you follow announcements from the rooms that programme this music most often.

Finally, a word on timing. In this repertoire dates arrive late and venues do not all communicate the same way: this page reflects announcements as they stand when you read it, and it is refreshed daily. The “Tonight” and “This weekend” pages let you cross this genre with every other one over a chosen period.

One last practical note. These rooms rarely use numbered seating, so arriving early genuinely changes where you stand or sit. The start time on each listing is the one supplied by the ticket seller, and the venue page gives the nearest stations and walking times — worth a look for the rooms that sit outside the central districts.
