The 2007 International Folk Alliance Conference has invited two bluegrass acts to their official showcases, both female or female-fronted bands.
The Claire Lynch Band and The Lovell Sisters will represent bluegrass music at the conference, held in Memphis, TN February 21-15, 2007 at The Cook Convention Center and The Marriott Convention Center Hotel. Unlike the IBMA’s annual convention, which is held each year in Nashville, Folk Alliance chooses a new convention site each year.
You can find convention information (registration, schedule, etc) on the Folk Alliance web site.
