Far West Folk Alliance

Hi from Seattle!

Awesome talents inhabit the 6th and 7th floors of the Hyatt Regency- Bellevue, WA this weekend. Far West Folk Alliance is having their annual conference and Duff Ferguson and I are hosting a private room called "Songs from the Campfire" to showcase top artists. Though it’s rainy and stormy outside, inside around the campfire we are having hot cider and s’mores and really enjoying seeing some fabulous performers drop by. Last night we were treated to some exceptional talent including Avery Hill, Hilary Scott, Scott Cook, Lois Blaisch, Terry Holder, Merlin Snider, Joel Tepp, H2nes and Nancy K Dillon, as well as myself (Allan Frank) and Duff.

Tonight we are even more excited to see intimate firelight performances by: Dan Weber, Phil Ward Live, Walt Dunlop, John Roy Zat, Severin Browne, Aireene Espiritu, Susan Marie Reeves, March to May, Melanie Devaney, and Duff and myself. Wish you could all be  here to enjoy the show. Staying dry in a soggy Seattle…
