It’s amazing how a bunch of folkies can transform a slick modern corporate conference hotel into a rocking, rollicking, authentic party with hundreds of our friends.

FY5 had an absolute blast at the 2015 Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City.

Thanks to Quicksilver Productions, Hearth PR, and the Bluegrass Situation for hosting the rockinest room for us to showcase in, and to our friends and colleagues for the inspiration and great times.  Some favorite acts you might want to check out if you haven’t already:  The Stray Birds, Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellies, New Country Rehab, Town Mountain, Betse & Clarke, Laura Cortese and the Dance Cards, Kristin Andreassen, Tall Heights, Dom Flemons, and Session Americana.

Also, Chris Hadfield was an amazing keynote speaker.  He’s an astronaut/humanist who recorded an album from space.  From SPACE!!!!  Give this a listen.
