Folk Alliance 2020 Recap

Congratulations to Folk Alliance International on a fantastic 40th festival! This year's festival in New Orleans was a wild ride. The 2019 festival saw artists and industry alike have their flights to Montreal delayed due to snowfall, but this year there was not a frozen flake in sight. With sunny skies and Mardis Gras on the horizon, New Orleans was the perfect host for the festival and the festival site was conveniently placed right next to historic Bourbon Street.
