A paradise for songwriters and fans of all kinds of original music, the Kerrville Folk Festival kicks off its 18-day run May 26 at Quiet Valley Ranch. Now in its 45th year, the heavenly Hill Country outpost stages daily shows with a lineup of nearly 100 performers from Texas and beyond, including favorites like Carrie Rodriguez, Terri Hendrix, Ruthie Foster, Peter Rowan (pictured), Bobby Bridger, Steve James, Peter Yarrow, and Bill Kirchen. The festival rounds out its offerings with songwriting workshops, children’s shows, arts-and-crafts vendors, and a campground known for its spontaneous campfire song circles.
