Local Artists. Right Now.
The next wave of folk starts here.
This summer, we’re highlighting LOCAL emerging artists who are shaping what folk music looks and sounds like right now. Four concerts. Four distinct sounds.
Presented in partnership with The Arts Council of Greater Greensboro.
Local Folk isn’t just about playing a show. It’s about supporting artists beyond the stage.
This year, we’re teaming up with Alycee Byrd Photography to provide day-of-show photography plus free professional headshots for participating artists.
We’re also partnering with Notes for Notes to offer free studio time, giving artists a chance to keep building their sound long after the set ends.
Participating venues will also provide sound board audio recordings of performances so artists can walk away with more than just the memory of the night.
