Kerrville Folk Festival launches hip younger sister fest, Welcome Home. KerrFolkFest
"I grew up in Pittsburgh, and Kerrville is the reason I live in Texas," says the 40-year-old Berlin, who first attended the festival at age 10."It gave me one of my greatest gifts, which is seeing the humanity and individuality of each and every person."
At last year's festival, Berlin recruited R&B powerhouse Daniel Fears and neo-soul ensemble Sir Woman, both of whom will return to Quiet Valley for Welcome Home. “There are so many interesting people that come [to Kerrville], and whoever you are, you have a home. But for me, there was always a split between what was happening on the stage and having representation of everyone, especially young people.” "When you look up the definition of folk, it's defined as relating to the traditional art or culture of a community or nation," says Berlin, who shares Welcome Home booking duties with twin siblings/musical duo the Brother Brothers.
"She and I have spent many hours talking about what we can do to preserve the quality of the festival while also bringing some change that encourages youth to come," she continues."We don't want to become corporate like some bigger festivals, but we talk a lot about the importance of reaching diverse groups."
