FESTIVAL BOOKING for 2008 and Beyond

Thank you for your interest in the Kerrville Folk Festival.   We are currently in the process of finalizing the 2008 Festival season line-up and therefore will not be accepting any new submissions for consideration for 2008.  We will be accepting demo/promo submissions in October and November for consideration for the 2009 festivals.  Please send your package to:

Kerrville Folk Festival, Inc
Attn: Dalis Allen, Producer
PO Box 291466
Kerrville, TX 78029

Please be advised that the Kerrville Music Festivals are technically Songwriters Festivals, therefore all those making submissions must write and perform their own original (and excellent) material.  The musical genres for our festivals are not specific.  Although we are called a "Folk Festival", we offer everything from singer / songwriters, to blues, country, americana, acoustic rock, jazz, bluegrass, Celtic, and even reggae.  Please keep in mind that in most cases artists must have been seen Live by our producer in order to be considered for the festival.

The best way to get your songs heard more quickly is to enter the "New Folk" Songwriting Competition.  The contest is held each year at the Spring Festival.  You can obtain the guidelines for entry by visiting our website at www.kerrvillefolkfestival.com/newfolk.htm , (or follow the "New Folk Information" link from our homepage) or by calling us at (830) 257-3600.  Guidelines for the 2008 Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Competition are posted.  We will began taking entries on December 1, 2007.

You might also consider attending or submitting material for consideration for the formal showcase at the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance Conference.  The dates and location of the 2007 conference will be held on October 4 - 7 and will be held in Austin Texas at the Woodward Hotel & Conference Center.  You can get information by visiting the SWRFA website at www.swrfa.com , by email to alliance@kerrville-music.com , or by calling (830) 257-3600.
