From Bob Lefsetz in February 2012 Folk Alliance is the epicenter for folk music. And it?s making a comeback. It was pushed down by the man, the major labels fighting for hits. But now with hits diminished, all the music pushed down to the bottom of the river is resurfacing. Running around the Memphis Marriott you?d think folk music rules the world. And maybe it does.
