GoGirls Go To Kerrville Folk Festival - Day 1 (Friday)
by Madalyn Sklar
So after a long day of driving we finally arrive in Kerrville, TX to attend the 39th annual Kerrville Folk Festival. I'm so excited to get there and see my friend and fellow GoGirls member, Sara Hickman, who by the way is this year's Texas State Musician. By the time we check in our hotel (yeah I don't camp) and get to the campgrounds, we are only minutes away from Sara's main stage performance. I brought Colorado singer/songwriter Kelly Feeley as my assistant and photographer. We made our way through the crowd and over to the back stage area so I can get a few cool shots of Sara. I ran into festival director, Dalis Allen, and got a quick minute to thank her for having us cover the event for GoGirls. (see photo)
The festival is huge. It's a massive sea of people enjoying the warm summer breeze along with great music coming from the stage. I ran into friends from Folk Alliance while walking around. It's always nice seeing familiar faces at these events. Eventually we made our way to the New Folk Tent and hung out for a bit. We visited with Kim Richardson and Rj Cowdery and watch them sing songs. It was a great way to end our first day in Kerrville. I'm looking forward to more great music in the next few days. Stay tuned...
