Images from the 2008 Falcon Ridge Preview Tour

 

Performing songwriters Joe Crookston, Anthony da Costa, Lindsay Mac and Randall Williams — emerging artists who were voted "most wanted to return" by 2007 Falcon Ridge Folk Festival attendees — helped the festival inaugurate its 20th anniversary year during a 23-show preview tour in May 2008. The tour, which kicked off May 1 at the venerable Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, made stops at notable coffee houses, theaters, clubs and house concert series across the East Coast. Among them were the Folk Music Society of Huntington�s First Saturdays Series in Centerport, New York on May 3, where Robert Berkowitz took these photos.

One of America’s largest and most esteemed music festivals, the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival was recently voted Folk Festival of the Year by Folk Alliance members. Slated for July 24-27 at Dodds Farm in the Hillsdale, New York foothills of the Berkshires, this year’s festival will feature main stage and workshop appearances by last years "most wanted" artists in addition to performances by a number of leading folk and Americana artists.

An article about the Falcon Ridge Preview Tour, posted in April, appears in both the Festival Focus and News – U.S., National sections.

NERFA 2007 Photo Galleries

 

Some 650 people converged on the once venerable Kutsher’s Resort in New York’s Catskill Mountains, Nov. 8-11, 2007, for the 13th annual conference of the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA). For three glorious – yet sleep-deprived – days and nights, a wonderful spirit of community filled the one-time mainstay of the borscht belt era, along with many showcases, song swaps and impromptu jam sessions that continued through the wee hours of the morning.

Some images of NERFA 2007 – as captured by Robert Berkowitz, Neale Eckstein, Jake Jacobson and AcousticMusicScene.com creators Michael Kornfeld and Glen Roethel – appear in this Photo Gallery, while others illustrate articles posted elsewhere on the site. [ Special thanks to these amazing photographers for sharing their wonderful work -- we're honored to host your photos! ]
