Woody Guthrie tribute on its way

“Ribbon of Highway, Endless Skyway” is a brilliant blend of Woody’s writings and songs, performed at MerleFest by a talented ensemble including the tribute’s producer Jimmy LaFave, Eliza Gilkyson and granddaughter Sarah Lee Guthrie. While a 2-CD set will be available in the future, you can get a sampling of this work only at FestivaLink. Available for pre-order

Cabin Fever – a MerleFest special offer

We love the modest Cabin Stage at MerleFest; 20-minute performances show some acoustic masters at their most relaxed. We’ve assembled all four sets for a special price. You’ll have guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, banjo master Pete Wernick, fiddler Jay Ungar, and multi-instrumentalist Mike Seeger and their favorite performing partners. Available now

Newport Folk Festival coming in August

Truly a landmark on the acoustic scene for nearly 50 years, Newport stays relevant by continually refreshing its take on the changing acoustic music scene--and maintaining the creative tradition of songwriters in the round, its signature Song Circles. We’ll have sets available soon after the Aug 4-6 event. We’re partnering with Internet radio presenter myvradio.com: catch convenient streams from them while we post-produce performances in superb stereo for your permanent collection.

Thanks as always for your interest in our new music service.
