Chicago Folk Festival
The Chicago Folk Festival at the University of Chicago was held this weekend for it’s 50th year. That’s amazing! The festival itself helped germinate the folk movement in the early 60s. I just got a new book of photos by Raeburn Flerlage of images from the early years of the festival. Check out this NPR article about the book and the scene, it’s really great:
