  • Confluence 2023 update

    From W. Randy Hoffman@wrandyhoffman@gmail.com to rec.music.filk on Sat May 20 12:44:04 2023
    From Newsgroup: rec.music.filk

    The music track for Confluence 2023 (https://confluence-sff.org/) is inching closer to being full. In addition to the previously announced performers, Pittsburgh's own Gregg Stone, a nerdy acoustic folk singer/songwriter, and dementia comedy singer/songwriter/musician Robbie Ellis (http://www.robbieellis.net/), originally from New Zealand and now living in Chicago, will be performing concerts at the convention. Judi Miller will also once again be doing signing for us -- I don't know why I always forget to mention her in the early announcements!
    See below for the tentative Confluence 2023 music schedule. If you've never performed at Confluence (or it's been a long time since you did) and you're interested in coming to the con to perform in one of the remaining open slots, please send me a Messenger message or email me at mrgoodwraith (at) yahoo (dot) com. Thanks!
    P.S. We're taking preorders for this year's con T-shirt until June 14 at https://confluence-sff.org/t-shirt/. Get yours today!
