Tucson Folk Festival - April 1-3, 2022
The Tucson Folk Festival is back after 2 years. The 37th Annual Folk Festival is the largest free music festival in Arizona with 125 performers on 5 outdoor stages in downtown Tucson.
https://www.tucsonfolkfest.org/Singer songwriters from Arizona join nationally recognized headline acts for a laid back weekend. It's all shorts and sandals and fun during these outrageously beautiful 83 degree spring days in the desert.
This years headliners include Cary Morin, Vance Gilbert, Curley Taylor and Zydeco Trouble, Tish Hinojosa, and Watkins Family Hour.
Watkins Family Hour are brother and sister Sean and Sara Watkins, both musicians play in Nickle Creek along with mandolinist Chris Thile. Sara was a regular on both "A Prarrie Home Companion" and "Live From Here". Sara has toured with singer-songwriter Tift Merritt, Robert Earl Keen, appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) on bass, Questlove of The Roots on drums and her brother Sean Watkins on guitar and toured with Jackson Browne as the opening act for his acoustic winter tour.
