Folk music thrives only where enthusiasts come together and create something special. The Southwest Regional Folk Alliance (SWRFA) is one such nonprofit organization with a mission to strengthen folk traditions in their own region. Now, when talking about regions in American terms, we’re thinking big – this region encompasses Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and even welcomes guests. Every year, SWRFA hosts a conference in Austin, Texas.
Several hundred artists, radio DJs, event organizers, and fans gather to exchange ideas about folk music in these states, make music together, and build business connections.
This year, A Haven For Songs was on the scene as well. The report is online in both German and English language on the website of renowned Folker magazine.
