April 28 – The 2023 Kerrville New Folk Winners Tour

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 over 750 submissions in 2023, 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 musicians selected six “award winners” from the 24. Of course, they are all outstanding musicians, especially having been selected to be finalists.  Each year the six award winners are invited to participate in a tour in central Texas.

This year, all 6 award winners will be participating in the tour and share their incredible songs and musicianship. To see the announcement for the tour and read a little about each participant click on this link. From that site, you can also link to individual websites.
