Earlier this month Brooklyners and
other locals were able to enjoy Brooklyn’s 10th annual folk
festival. For a long weekend of April 6th
to 8th, there were concerts, jams, square dancing, and even – for the first time – a Brooklyn
Fiddle Contest. Beer was donated to Brooklyn folk by the Lagunitas Brewing Co.,
and the kids enjoyed a puppet show presented by the Boxcutter Collective.
Contributors to this amazing festival
this year included: the Steel City Jug Slammers, Jackson & the Jacks, King
Isto’s Tropical Spring Band, The HickHoppers, Feral Foster, Wyndam Baird, The
Horse Eyed Men, Poorboy Krill and many, many more.
With thanks to all the sponsors
including: The Folk Music Society of New York, Inc., the Howard Gilman Foundation, Rose Brand,
Down Home Radio Show and Snowman Fabricators.
For those who missed it, not to worry,
next month sees the Swamp in the City: A Cajun Music Festival on May 18-20th.
