It’s with great excitement and enthusiasm that we introduce you to this year’s Formal Showcase Artists at the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance’s (NERFA) conference in Asbury Park, NJ. Selected from an impressive pool of over 150 applicants, these artists stood out and captured the hearts of our esteemed judging panel comprised of Fosalyn Dennett from Folk Music Ontario, Beth & Perry Stein of the Ethical Brew, Lisa Schwartz booking manager of the Cambridge Folk Festival, and Ron Olesko of Folk Music Notebook. Their performances moved and inspired us, and we are thrilled to showcase their incredible talent and passion for folk music in November!
