Iβm literally sitting here in a porta loo writing my observations.
Extinction Rebellion are here but low key.
Festival is heavily using paper utensils but still a lot of plastic cups.
Local Bars are selling alcohol in plastic.
Things are getting better, but nowhere near enough.
Music & messages are good.
Hey so would anyone be into a folk punk festival in Australia... and would you be willing to travel... say to Tasmania for example? And maybe pay a bit of money for a weekend pass that got you into a load of pubs with a load of live folk punk music over a long weekend? Or something like that...
Also, potential surprise appearance by Olivia during the festival itself maybe π?

Are you seeking an opportunity to gather with fellow emerging songwriters among a community that celebrates, embraces, and supports songwriters? If so, I encourage you to enter the Kerrville Folk Festivalβs 2022 Grassy Hill New Folk Competition for Emerging Songwriters.
Entries are welcome from a diverse array of subgenres including, but not limited to Appalachian, Americana, Blues, Bluegrass, Celtic, Cajun, Country, Global Roots, Gospel, Hip-Hop, Old-Time, Zydeco, or various fusions as long as the songs are original compositions of the artist making the submission.
Being selected as a New Folk finalist carries considerable prestige in the singer-songwriter community. This is in part due to the peer-professional judging and the Festival's long history of recognizing emerging artists who have later gone on to wider success. Recent finalists include Shawn Byrne, Sav Buist of The Accidentals, Sam Robbins, Shanna in a Dress, Liz Longley, Mac Leaphart, Angela Parrish, Liv Greene and Scott Mulvahill. Shawn Colvin, Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett, Robert Earl Keen, The Flatlanders, and Lucinda Williams were also New Folk Finalists.
The following is a link to information on the contest, including the site to submit your songs.
