We want to extend a very warm and heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and supported our inaugural Folk Show Folk Show. It was truly a unique experience to see four world class musicians on stage together, enjoying each other's music and company. NHPR Folk Show host Kate McNally posed questions to the artists and we got a glimpse into their experiences and creative process.

Many thanks to Cheryl Wheeler, Bill Morrissey, Anais Mitchell and Brooks Williams for their amazing talent. Huge thanks to everyone at the Colonial Theatre for hosting this event. Special thanks go to The E.F. Lane Hotel, The Hippo Press, Bagel Works in Keene and the Bellows House Bakery in Walpole for their support.
