The Artist Experience
The North Carolina Folk Festival and the city of Greensboro truly values their artist community. We are constantly looking for new ways to uplift artist voices and share them with our community. Here are a few things you can expect when booking the NC Folk Festival. If you are interested in playing the Festival, please reach out to ncffbooking@ncfolkfestival.com.
A community that truly values live music
The city of Greensboro recently ran a music census to find out what live music needs to thrive here. The census captured key information about the local music economy to help the city and community make more informed, data-driven decisions to support the music ecosystem. You can explore the results here.
When you book the NC Folk Festival, you can count on a community that will show out to support you. You will gain new fans, and find a place that you’ll want to return to again.
“I’m always impressed with the talent and support that comes from Greensboro. I envision so many great things for this city and the people. You don’t need to look elsewhere for magic when it’s happening right next to you.”
Artist Hospitality
Our Festival covers the full experience. On top of your payment we will pay for travel, hotel, and food while you are here.
Each artist/band at the North Carolina Folk Festival is assigned an Artist Buddy, who sticks with them throughout the weekend and is there to help make their time at the Festival run as smoothly as possible.
“Honestly one of the best experiences for any artist who is starting off in their career or even developed. Wouldn’t mind coming back.”
Festival Photos
After Festival weekend we will share all the photos our photographers capture of you/your band throughout the weekend.
“Greensboro’s diverse music scene creates some of the best artists that you have never heard of!”
Get Featured on our Festival Playlist
Each year, we create a Spotify playlist with music from our lineup to share in the months leading up to the lineup. We promote the playlist weekly in hopes that people will start listening before the Festival and be ready to sing-a-long. Here is the 2024 Festival Playlist for reference.
