(Photo: Tom Moore)<\/figcaption><\/figure>As in years past, besides several jam-packed days and nights of music showcases, song swaps\/in-the-rounds, and informal jam sessions, the NERFA conference,  will also feature a children\u2019s concert, informative panel discussions and workshops, one-on-one mentoring sessions, communal meals, a trade show-like exhibit hall, a community meeting with NERFA\u2019s volunteer board of directors, a community sing led by Bob Cohen and the folk harmony trio Gathering Time, a welcoming party, and lots of opportunities for schmoozing and networking.  Singer-songwriter Dar Williams will be the conference\u2019s keynote speaker.<\/p>\n<p>Back by popular demand, after a much lamented one-year absence, two open mics are  again on the schedule; Rob Hinkal of IlyAIMY hosts the Friday and Saturday afternoon sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Booking gigs may be the primary objective of some performers who attend the conference; and many presenters and folk DJs do scout out new artists and those whom they have not previously heard and seen in live performance. However, the conference experience is much more than that; it\u2019s really about forging connections, building community, and attending workshops and seminars to learn about options to further careers, promote the music,  attract audiences and listeners, ad enrich our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Among some 40 scheduled workshops and panel discussions are several focusing on social media and websites. Sonny Ochs, a longtime folk DJ and sister of the late troubadour and activist Phil Ochs, will moderate \u201cSinging The Truth: Activism and 35 Years of Phil Ochs Song Nights,\u201d featuring performing panelists Greg Greenway, Reggie Harris, Joe Jencks, Colleen Kattau, and Pat Wictor. Among the artist-centric offerings are the popular \u201cOn the Griddle\u201d instant critique session and ones on crowd-funding, DIY video, financial planning for artists, \u201cMaking the Most of Your Release,\u201d \u201cMental Health Survival Kit for Musicians,\u201d \u201cNavigating Social Issues with Music and Story,\u201d \u201cStep-By-Step Streaming Success,\u201d and \u201cWomenfolk: Fostering Equity, Safety and Success.\u201d Sally Rogers and Claudia Schmidt will conduct a vocal harmony how-to session.  For presenters, there will be sessions on finding the funds for your venue and sound reinforcement, as well as one entitled \u201cKeep the Fire Bright: Preventing Burnout in Presenting Organizations. \u201c<\/p>\n<p>Morning yoga sessions will again be led by singer-songwriter Caroline Cotter, while MusiCares will be on site again to fit folks for custom earplugs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Juried Showcases Slated for Friday and Saturday Nights<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_10183\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10183\" style=\"width: 232px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/acousticmusicscene.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Screaming-Orphans-2018-sanjay-232x300.jpg\" alt=\"Celtic folk-pop rockers Screaming Orphans, four sisters who originally hail from Ireland&#039;s County Donegal, will showcase heir talents during the conference.
