NB House Concerts presents the 2024 Kerrville New Folk Award Winners on Sunday, November 10th at 5:00pm
Many people consider the Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition to be the soul of the Kerrville Folk Festival. Every year since 1972, songwriters have been invited to submit two songs to be considered for this prestigious competition. From the 1,100 submissions this past year, 24 artists were invited to come to the Kerrville Folk Festival and perform their songs before an adoring and enthusiastic audience. A panel of professional touring singer songwriters selects six “award winners” from the 24. Each year those six award winners are invited to participate in a tour of central Texas.
This year, all 6 award winners will join us at Sycamore Creek Concerts and share their incredible songs and musicianship.

CONCERT DETAILS
Doors will open at 4:30pm. We will have a bit of time to visit before the show starts at 5:00pm. There will be two sets of music with a potluck dinner in-between. Coffee and Iced Tea will be provided. BYOB. We will be limiting attendance so everyone can have space and feel comfortable. During the break you’ll also have a chance to speak with the musicians as well as other attendees – truly a VIP experience.
When the band begins to play, those seated in the living room are instantly connected by the music resonating from the small stage.
