KC Cafe Radio is pleased to announce our first-ever broadcast coverage from two outstanding music events this spring!  Thanks to the efforts of our own David Hakan and his Gypsy Wagon Mobile Recording Studio, we will provide coverage from the 2019 Southeast Regional Folk Alliance Conference, May 15-19 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, as well as the Kerrville Folk Music Festival from Kerrville, Texas May 23-June 9.

The annual Southeast Regional Folk Alliance (SERFA) is one of the regional arms of Folk Alliance International.  Their annual conferences are held in the spring, this year in Chattanooga, Tennessee, bringing together artists, songwriters, presenters, DJs, and other music industry professionals.  This year, the conference will be held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, at the Chattanoogan Hotel.

Now in it’s 47th year, the Kerrville Folk Music Festival is an 18-day and night event held just south of Kerrville, Texas, in what is known as “Texas Hill Country.”  It has been instrumental in launching the careers of the likes of Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson, Robert Earl Keen, and Lucinda Williams.  Over 1500 musicians have appeared on its main stages over the years.

Tune in as David talks with both familiar and upcoming music talent appearing at these events, and we will get song or two along the way.  Listen for these conversations and performances throughout our regular programming on KC Cafe Radio Thursdays through Sundays between May 16 and June 9.  Archived recordings of the conversations and performances from that weekend’s broadcast will be archived to our website during the week following broadcast.
