Jalopy Theatre & School of Music is a folk music venue and school in Brooklyn, New York.

Founded in 2006 by Lynette Wiley and Geoff in Brooklyn, New York, Jalopy Theatre & School of Music serves as a dedicated venue and educational hub for folk and traditional music. The organization was established to provide a space where artists can perform, teach, and foster a community centered on musical inspiration and study. Beyond hosting a steady schedule of concerts, Jalopy offers classes for aspiring musicians, creating a unique environment that bridges the gap between performers and audiences. This educational approach helps break down traditional barriers, recreating the communal spirit that defined the folk movement of the 1960s and events like Woodstock. Jalopy is also the birthplace of the Brooklyn Folk Festival, an annual event celebrating traditional American and world music. The festival emphasizes authentic musical traditions over celebrity status, featuring musicians from across the country and around the globe, including artists from Syria, Ethiopia, and Mexico. By focusing on grassroots roots music, including blues, jug bands, and string bands, the festival aims to showcase the rich cultural heritage of New York and its diverse international populations, encouraging participants to study, interpret, and present historical music in their own unique ways.
