It's Up

Folk Alliance International (FAI) has just unveiled the lineup of Official Showcases for its thirty-seventh annual conference, to be held February 19-23, 2025, in Montreal, at Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth. More than 175 artists will showcase, representing 26 countries of origin, 19 U.S. states and all 13 Canadian provinces, one of the larger slates of showcases in the conference’s history.

Jennifer Roe, Executive Director of Folk Alliance International states that "Our 37th annual conference, themed 'Illuminate' and inspired by the Northern Lights, will be a celebration of diverse musical traditions, artistic expression, and the shared experience that connects us all. It will be great to come back to Montreal, site of the 2019 conference; returning to Quebec highlights our continued commitment to artists in Canada and elsewhere outside of the United States."
