As described by Nick Buczok, this Folk Alliance International, was one of most outstanding events that he has ever attended. He described the event where comaraderie, friendship, passion, dedication, energy and respect amongst musicians were present all in one place. He commented that seeing musicians carrying their gear from room to room on 3 different floors to play in, not including the main conference rooms were amazing! No special effects, big sound system, or lights, just good straight forward music in a variety of styles.
To the artists who sat for me commented Nick, (the ones I know and the ones (I met), thank you for the opportunity!! and sorry to the artists I met and missed, and to the ones I didn't see (rain check)!
Nick says thanks to Joelle May (Mod May promotions) for getting me into covering this event and her staff for their help! Much appreciated.
