Do you know about the Folk Alliance Conference in Memphis? It’s one of the five largest music conferences in North America. This amazing event is chock full of music, seminars, workshops, networking and booking opportunities. Five days of industry workshops, panels, exhibits, showcases, concerts, and more for members of the international music community. The event provides a networking opportunity for those in the industry to work hard and enjoy themselves while doing so. I attended this conference last year and I have to tell you it’s fantastic. I’m going again this year. Every day and night there are literally hundreds of musicians playing, most in intimate settings.
