Willy Porter - Great River Folk Fest

We're ecstatic to have Willy Porter closing our Saturday night concert at the 2013 Great River Folk Fest; and playing song swaps on Saturday and Sunday during the day. If you have friend who has never experienced what it's like to watch song swaps; please pass the word... they at many times have been the best memories from the fest. AND This year we will be staggering the times so you don't have to choose between swaps... we're limiting as much overlap in the schedule as possible!



Stop over our Great River Folk Fest Facebook fan page, even if you are from out of town... we're a long running fest, and you might find yourself in La Crosse some day.. Plus our friends are your friends.

I've met so many great artists at the fest, and hosted a few at house concerts including David Stoddard, Becky Schlegel, and next up Carrie Elkin.

You want to come over to my house and listen to music?

So do you?  Ha... I'm not inviting you over for a night of Barry White, more like some acoustic music performed live for 20-40 people.  Intimate.. of course, just not the way you were thinking originally.  I've hosted about four of these a year since 2008, and they are documented in our other blog or Facebook page.  I do love when I get newbies to our series; they are astounded the quality of artist and the incredible freshness of the venue.  (Of course I clean the house beforehand... Ha)  Now I read that this format is generating speed everywhere... check out this article.

And of course if you are within two hours of LaCrosse Wisconsin... consider coming over to my house and listen to some great music!  I met David at the Great River Folk Fest, and this is his second time to our series!  He writes such great songs, witty, funny and of course touching at times. This time he joins Beth Wood who is also coming back for a second stop... what an absolute treat she is. (Speaking of cleaning the house.... for Beth the carpets even get Rug Doctor'd to eliminate our cat dander... yes we have three of them... so you know how much I love to listen to Beth to go through that work!)
