If “loud as folk” is an oxymoron, then Reno’s monthly musical revue of the same name is turning up the volume to redefine folk music and enrich the biggest little music scene. From its humble beginnings in 2011 at the hands of mastermind and musician Spike McGuire, Loud As Folk has evolved into its current form as a monthly showcase of local and touring songwriters with performances in Reno and the West Coast.

It's a monthly songwriters showcase that started at The Alley in Sparks back in 2011. 

"We've expanded into a touring revue, we've taken Reno songwriters all through California and Oregon," founder Spike McGuire said. "We have people coming in from all over the world to play but the focus is on local musicians."
