Brooklyn, NY (April 4, 2012) – This year, the founders of the Brooklyn Folk Festival will transform 27,000sqft of raw space in Downtown Brooklyn into a music wonderland in order to showcase the musical talents of renowned Americana singers, to local and national folk bands, to musicians from around the world. Legendary singer, musician and folklorist Alice Gerrard, formerly of Hazel and Alice (with Hazel Dickens) will be performing as well as Brett Ratliff, banjo player and ballad singer of Eastern Kentucky, Michael Daves the well known bluegrass singer will perform, and Bodoma debuts their traditional Afro-Caribbean Garifuna music from Honduras. The festival opens Friday, May 18th with a special tribute to Brooklyn’s own Woody Guthrie who would have turned 100 this year.
