Howdy Folks,

Happy New Year! Looking forward to connecting with Folk Alliance presenters in Kansas City at the upcoming FAI conference! I am scheduling meetings during the exhibit hall booth #307 or whenever convenient in the lobby at other times of the conference. AND.... we have an official conference showcase with THE SMALL GLORIES - "Artist of the Year" 2020 International Folk Alliance Awards!
I hope you’ll take a few minutes to review our full roster and schedule a time with yours truly. Lots to share and look forward to in the coming season! Below are just a few highlighted programs from our roster!
From all of us at SRO, we look forward to working with you again soon!

Bill Marquardt, Artist Representative

"2019 Artist Of The Year" by the Folk Alliance International!! This folk/pop/roots powerhouse from Winnipeg delivers brilliant harmonies and original songs by Cara Luft (Wailin' Jennys) on banjo, and JD Edwards on guitar.

Their latest album, Assiniboine and The Red (2019 Red House) won 2019 JUNO Traditional Roots Album of the Year and earned THREE Canadian Folk Music Awards!
Three programs are available from this celebrated Native American Roots and Appalachian Americana artist!

New co-bill package with Grammy-winning American Patchwork Quartet entitled “This Land Is Our Land”.

Martha is also a recipient of the Mid-Atlantic Arts Grant. As part of their mission to bring culturally important and moving art to communities in the Mid-Atlantic region, they could cover up to 50% of the artist fee for the Roots Project band or the theatrical “Bone Hill” project. 
For the past fifty-two years, Loudon Wainwright III has carved out a distinguished career as one of our most original singer-songwriters, a six-string diarist with material that is by turns, tongue-in-cheek, tender, sarcastic, heart-wrenching, and always deeply personal.

Along the way, he’s released over twenty albums, won a Grammy, acted in film and TV, and had his songs recorded by artists including Johnny Cash, Mose Allison, Bonnie Raitt, and his own son, Rufus Wainwright. In 2015 Loudon Wainwright received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards in Cardiff.

His latest album, Lifetime Achievement (2022 Story Sound), has 15 new and original songs and establishes his singular talent as our foremost six-string tragicomedian, not only undiminished but hitting new heights
A perennial favorite in many markets. Led by fifth-generation Mariachi master, Jose Hernandez, the ensemble brings "fresh contemporary passion" to the treasured cultural tradition of Mariachi. These 13 members perform at numerous performing arts centers, festivals, and fairs each year.

Their holiday show “A Merry-Achi Christmas" is a yearly sellout in many west coast cities. New special programs for Hispanic Heritage Month in the Fall include "Un Dia de Los Muertos" or "Cinco de Mayo" in the Spring.

Mariachi Sol de Mexico is available for student shows, workshops, master classes, and as guests with orchestra/symphony (they have charts).
