Are you ready for the 2025 Folk Alliance International Conference? We know we are!

“One of my favorite parts of attending music conferences is putting together panels that I hope will be helpful to independent musicians. This year for FAI, I am so pumped about the lineup for this panel- some old and dear friends with decades of knowledge about promoting shows, plus our very own Grace Carey-Hill who kicks ass selling out tours for our management clients. It will be fun AND educational. What more could you ask for?” - Erin

“Excited to be attending FAI and Canada for the first time! I can’t wait to learn from industry professionals, meet new people, and catch up with friends from Nashville and beyond. I’m especially looking forward to helping host our showcases and being part of our tour marketing panel—it’s going to be such a great conversation. Really hoping to help independent artists make their tours even better!” - Grace
