Memphis-Live
Boris' Salt Lick Trio (Boris, Susan Hyde Holmes, Brett Davis) plus manager Melissa are trying to raise money to attend the Folk Alliance conference in February of 2012. They have been invited by Folk Alliance to be a Performance Alley Showcase artist at the 3-day music event, which is prestigious, and also expensive to attend. All three artists must pay their travel, hotel, and registration at the conference, as well as any expenses along the way. New Mexico has been standing up to support their musician friends, and a funding campaign at IndieGoGo is up and running. Every single contribution helps, and so does spreading the word through email and social media. Can you help support? Please join us in the next month, and thank you.
