KIM MOBERG

An essential part of every FAI conference is the after-hours Private Showcase scene, a festive, community-built offering of hundreds of mini-concerts presented simultaneously.

We are delighted to announce that this year, FAI will recreate (albeit virtually) this inspiring model, providing a meeting place to reconnect, discover new music, and build community among folk musicians, industry, and fans alike through the magic of Unlocked Showcases.

This year the showcases are not only available to the virtual conference attendees, but they’re also unlocked for public ticket access!

When you walk through our doors, you will be greeted warmly by our staff and the burning embers in the dining room fireplace. You may wonder if you have actually walked into one of Ireland’s best pubs as the candle lit, casual atmosphere envelops you. Once you taste our food, relax with a good brew, experience the friendly atmosphere, and listen to live music, you will want to come back and be part of our family.

Live music 7 nights a week!

Join Singer/Songwriters Rob Williams and Kim Moberg for an evening of songs and stories!

The live stream concert is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.

The Series features 4 nationally & internationally touring seasoned artists each week; all with Zoom experience.

Each artist will play for 20 minutes. The artists receive an even share of the donations.

Registration is required for EACH concert.

Join Singer/Songwriters Lisa Bastoni and Kim Moberg for an evening of songs and stories!

Singer-songwriter Lisa Bastoni is a 2019 Kerrville New Folk Winner, and is a 2019 Boston Music Award nominee (Folk Artist of the Year). Her new album, How We Want to Live (September 2019), chronicles life changes, including songs about the dissolution of her marriage and learning to live a new normal -- but more than anything, it finds the songwriter diving deeper into the life she craves.

How We Want to Live, produced by award-winning songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist Sean Staples, features guest performances by Mark Erelli, Rose Cousins, Lula Wiles and Naomi Sommers.

Lisa Bastoni has shared the stage with Lori McKenna, Little Big Town, Arlo Guthrie, Regina Spektor, The Secret Sisters, Teddy Thompson, and many more.

Songs from How We Want to Live have been featured in Billboard Country, Wide Open Country, PopMatters, and The Bluegrass Situation.

A few recent press quotes: "Bright, attactive and wonderfully poetic..." (Americana-UK) "Expressive, well-crafted songs..." (Glide Magazine) "A beautiful melancholia...real and human." (Red Line Roots) "Americana of the highest order, along the lines of Patty Griffin or Gretchen Peters" (Maverick UK)
