Folk Alliance International presents Finest Folk First Fridays

December's Finest Folk event will be an evening showcase featuring local musicians performing holiday favorites both popular and obscure. Betse & Clarke will host the event and perform a featured set to kick the night off. Kansas City folk singer-songwriter Danny Cox will perform the second featured set. The evening will follow the Rural Grit Happy Hour format including pre-betweens, featured artists, in-betweens, and ending in a "Jubilee" singalong with all musicians joining in on stage. Bring your instrument, plan a holiday song, and come right at 6 pm to sign up to play a song.

The Rural Grit Happy hour is going on 25 year celebrating American Roots, Old-Time, Old Country, Honky Tonk Blues, Juke Joint, and original music from traditional sounds to experiments beyond the accepted boundaries.
