February News
Hello everyone -
It's February and that means FOLK and the annual
Folk Alliance International conference. As noted last month, the FAI conference will be virtual this year:
Folk Unlocked. We have lost count, but for the past 14 or so years, we have hosted a private showcase room during the in-person conference. This year we will be hosting a virtual showcase room. We will miss seeing everyone, the hugs, the music, the hallway hustle & bustle, and Laura will miss passing out glasses of water and 2 buck chuck. But this year, we are SUPER EXCITED as many of you who have never been able to attend will be finally able to do so. If you have heard Laura talk about the conference over the years, this is your terrific opportunity to meet up with other music fans & artists from across the globe. Please consider attending in whatever capacity makes sense for you, and once you are there come hang out in our virtual showcase room. We promise you will love all of the music you hear in our "unlocked" showcase room this year. The showcases and artists we are presenting can be found below. You can still
register (pay what you are able) and don't forget about the
public ticket option to attend showcases.
We are so happy seven artists from the roster will be showcasing at Folk Unlocked: Nathan Hamilton, Matt The Electrician, Curtis McMurtry, BettySoo, Raina Rose, JM Stevens and David Berkeley. Please check all of their individual schedules on the
Folk Unlocked web site, which will have way more showcases than listed on the flyer below and more than their tour schedules below. We hope to see you at Folk Unlocked, please let us know if you are attending!
