Paula Moore, Sally Johnson, Sandy Thatcher, Andy Moore at a prior NERFA
Sally and I are super excited about our showcases at this year’s NERFA conference. We have incredible performers coming, not just from the Northeast, but from Texas, California, Nashville, Chicago, and elsewhere. This also marks the folk community debut of my lifelong friend, Danny Pickering. Well known in jazz circles from years of performing and recording with people like the Brecker Brothers, Herbie Hancock, and other jazz legends; our community was invisible to him until I dragged him in. This also marks a NERFA debut for SF Bay Area music legend Keith Greeninger, best know for his work with City Folk. And, I believe, the first NERFA visit for Texas based Ann Armstrong and Steve Hughes. These guys are hella good. In fact, the whole showcase is pretty amazing.
