I guess we gotta jump on this bandwagon. Happy Father’s Day to Poor David himself! I’ve learned so much from him including: how to catch ANYTHING (keep your eye on the ball!), how to write songs, how to sail, how to love dogs, how to stay young, how to turn strangers into friends, how to count cash and now how to run a live music business. WHAT.A.TREAT!!!! Love you dad ❤️ Amelia

PHIL LEE SAVANNAH YOUNG

Congratulations to all those who made the semifinals. Those who did not qualify are allowed in free as the 30$ entry fee suffices.

5$ cover for a night of original music is very inexpensive, don't you agree?

Hello! Making videos is fun…and awkward…and I’m learning how much I say “really” “amazing” and “so” among other words. Stick around till the end for a (very) short bloopers reel.

I just got back from the Kerrville Folk Festival! I never miss it and always enjoy connecting with friends (new and old) and discovering new folk(ish) music. I’m working on getting some of these folks at the club. If you’ve never been to KFF, you’ve got TWO MORE WEEKS to see it for yourself. 2nd weekend starts today!

A few corrections: I think it’s actually the 54th Annual Kerrville Folk Festival, PLUS all the grammar mistakes you hear.

Congrats to this year’s New Folk Winners!

Hudson Mueller
Stephanie Sammons
Sarah Golden
Helena Hallberg
Caitlin Cannon
Logan Vath It was so nice to meet you all!!!

I’m trying to get these videos to under one minute. But if you want more, you can join our newsletter to get the longer version where I talk about how I know some of the New Folk winners and where I got my dress.

Stay tuned to hear more about upcoming June shows!
