KFF2016, Day 1, Thursday, 5.26.16
Thursday, May 25, the gates opened at 6 p.m., music started at 7 p.m. There had been a ballad tree
(songwriting circle) hosted by Butch Morgan earlier in the day. It was a casual day, with volunteer staff members coming in throughout the day — several/many had been here for days ahead, getting the grounds ready.
This disclaimer — of the 70 main stage/night-time performers, I have again done the math and this time I’ve heard 34% of them before… Last year, 94% of all the performers were new to me. And that’s exciting. Some this year are familiar because I heard them for the first time last year — Del Barber, Dana Louise & The Glorious Birds, Chubby Knuckle Choir and the ilk.
