There’s no doubt in our readers’ minds about the venue that helped launch the careers of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. The legend of CLUB PASSIM endures, having marked its 50th anniversary in January. Originally known as Club 47, Passim was a key player in popularizing folk rock, nurturing the careers of musicians who became cornerstones of the post-war American Zeitgeist. Today, the cozy basement venue is still a magnet for both well-established and up-and-coming artists, including Ryan Mont-bleau, Antje Duvekot, and Anais Mitchell. The Passim School of Music offers songwriting and instrument instruction.

Best place to see the next “next Bob Dylan”: Though he never headlined, Bob Dylan used to perform between sets just so he could say he played at Club 47, as this epicenter of the folk movement was known from its founding in 1958 until 1968. Every decade since then, a new round of talented, acoustic-wielding Passim regulars keeps the folk-troubadour tradition alive.
"Club Passim has been the place to play for folk musicians in the Boston area. The place has a storied history: The greats of the 1950s and '60s — Baez, Tom Rush, Bob Dylan — all played the room when it was called Club 47. Later, the club gave rise to singers such as Shawn Colvin and Suzanne Vega...The music world has changed greatly. But the club's continuing to turn out new talent even this year, its 50th anniversary. "
