Folklore Society Booking (Mar-Jun '12)

Fresno Folklore Society is a not for profit organization that enables Fresno folk artists to perform and obtain publicity, and over the years, has provided a venue for touring traditional artists. It is looking to book artists for two venues; a smaller venue whose submitting artists must have a draw of 50+ people, and a larger venue for artists with a 100+ draw.



Accepted genres include any 'traditional' music, including old-time, bluegrass, Cajun, Irish and other Celtic music, as well as swing and traditional jazz, Armenian, Greek, Balkan--just to name a few. Sound systems and equipment will be provided at the venues, but artists are responsible for bringing their own instruments.



About The Fresno Folklore Society (FFS)

The Fresno Folklore Society (FFS) is a non-profit corporation founded for the purpose of preserving folk arts, especially traditional music, in California's San Joaquin Valley. It has existed in various forms for over thirty-five years. The present incarnation was begun in 1977 by a group of musicians who wanted to find ways to make folk music more available to those in the valley.
