Well, the 2010 Brooklyn Folk Festival has come and gone, and I can tell you that it was a great success! It sold out every night, the new outdoor stage was a huge success and people had a great time! The whole thing was professionally recorded by Don Fierro and we look forward to the release of at least one Brooklyn Folk Festival 2010 CD/LP probably over the winter on the brand new Jalopy Records label. The music that was played at this festival was to put it plainly AMAZING. I knew it would be good, but didn’t realize just how good. As the organizer and MC I was very emotionally moved by the whole proceeding! Truly. Already planning for next year… well maybe I’ll take a break. But I’m already excited!
Below are some photos I took at the festival. All of my photos from the event can be seen at this link. Look out in the reasonably near future for some films from the festival shot by filmmaker Chris Low. I’ll be posting up a bunch of those plus audio and some videos I took, etc.
