Pleased as heck to be one of the winners of the New Folk Song Contest at the @kerrfolkfest ✨ I’ve been hearing about this mystical Texas songwriter festival for years - the campground every night is filled with many dozens of songwriter circles scattered around in reverence to The Song: one guitar going around, and all ears on the person sharing theirs. A utopia of a very specific kind that busted my heart wide open.

When I found out they have a song contest with past participants like Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith, Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Adrienne Lenker, etc etc etc I decided to go for it! 1200 applicants, 24 finalists (who were all mind-blowingly amazing) and 6 winners, determined after adjudicated performances by all 24 finalists. I believe very firmly that there is a home for every song & know that art is subjective 💛 and still I am honoured.

I spent 9 days there, and heard so many songs that made me laugh/cry/wonder. Made some new lifelong friends. Met some underground legends. Thanks Kerrville Folk Fest for having me and creating this micro universe unlike any other. I will definitely be returning 💛

This is my 20th year attending @kerrfolkfest 💕
It’s an 18 day long singer-songwriter festival in the Texas hill country, 2 hours outside of Austin. The first year i came here, i knew no one. I was 23, an aspiring folksinger who loves summer camp, so if felt like my natural habitat.
Long story short, i fell in love with the community here and ending up calling austin home. 
Kerrville is so special to me. You crawl out of a tent in the morning to say hi to all your beloved friends. You stay up til 4am singing songs in a bus, around a camp fire, under a canopy of stars, in a thunderstorm. You swim or play or write or laugh all day long. 
Community is everything and i feel so lucky to be a part of this one.
