Between the Lines is an exclusive, FAI members-only live interview series exploring the creative process of some of folk’s most fascinating minds. Hosting the first season is John Platt, veteran folk DJ and founder of the New Folk Initiative, who will be interviewing four recipients from the 2021 International Folk Music Awards.
The first guest is David Harrington, the founder of Kronos Quartet, whose album “Long Time Passing: Kronos Quartet & Friends Celebrate Pete Seeger” won the award for 2020 Album of the Year. Future guests include The War and Treaty (Artist of the Year), Eliza Gilkyson (Song of the Year), and Raye Zaragoza (Rising Tide Award).
Season one host: John Platt, founder of New Folk Initiative
The series will be held online at 7 pm CT on the last Tuesday of the month from March through June. Each event will feature a live* 45-minute interview, followed by a 15-minute Q&A to allow our community to dig a little deeper and connect with the artists. Following the Q&A, we’ll host a post-event social hour in our own Bramble virtual venue where members can connect and catch up with each other in a completely unique way!
