What is NERFA?
Northeast Regional Folk Alliance
About NERFA
Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) is a regional affiliate of Folk Alliance International, a nonprofit organization that aims to serve, strengthen, and engage the global folk music community through preservation, presentation, and promotion.
The Conference
Each year performing artists, presenters, promoters, agents, managers, folk DJs, and others actively engaged in contemporary and traditional folk music attend our annual conference in November, currently held in Albany, New York.
The Organization
NERFA is governed by a volunteer board of directors that has also been engaged in ongoing efforts to make it more of a year-round organization in order to best meet the needs and serve the interests of FAI members from the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, DC to the provinces of eastern Canada.
