SPECIAL EDITION: GUIDE TO THE FAR WEST CONFERENCE
.
Fri-Sun, Nov 6-8, in the OC:
6th annual “FOLK ALLIANCE REGION WEST – FAR WEST – CONFERENCE” at the Hyatt Regency, 17900 Jamboree Rd, Irvine, is “a welcoming place where artists in all stages of their careers connect with each other, as well as with concert programmers, house concert hosts, small venue owners, radio programmers and others in the business of promoting folk and acoustic music.” They “celebrate all types of folk and acoustic music, always with a strong vein of tradition flowing through our programming as we honor and provide education about the roots of folk music and dance.” FAR West president Steve Dulson says, “Many who come to our conferences leave saying they’ve found their tribe – and it’s no wonder.”
+
The FAR West Conference is far richer in music performances than just about anyplace else you could go. The Guide has prepared an extensive and detailed special feature on the many aspects of the conference. More at www.far-west.org
+
If you go, print our Guide to FAR West and take it with you; its format should help you find everything more easily than the official event program.

EVERY WEEK, and sometimes more often, the ACOUSTIC AMERICANA MUSIC GUIDE brings you extensive descriptions of
(a) all the folk-Americana acoustic music LIVE PERFORMANCES in the Los Angeles region, from Santa Barbara to south Orange County;
(b) acoustic music FESTIVALS everywhere (and we mean everywhere)
(c) all the RADIO SHOWS THAT FEATURE LIVE PERFORMANCE-INTERVIEWS with acoustic Americana musicians, provided those shows can be heard in L.A. (which means on web simulcasts from somewhere else in the world, with a precious few notable exceptions)
(d) TICKET ALERTS for upcoming shows, so you get tix in time.
(e) NEWS FEATURES, sometimes at the beginning of the Guide, sometimes in separate editions as the Acoustic Americana Music News.
Remember to check the Guide often, at http://acousticamericana.blogspot.com
