Reimagined by longtime Kerrville Folk Festival organizer Amy Sue Berlin, Welcome Home preserves the freewheeling spirit of its parent festival while drawing new attendees into the songwriter’s paradise. Compared to its behemoth 18-day sister fest, the intimate weekendlong event makes a point to recruit younger, queerer, and more diverse acts. Last October’s attendees camped under pristine skies and caught sets from folk-focused headliner Adrianne Lenker and R&B hellraisers Sir Woman. Come for the music, stay for the community: Campfire story-sharing and finger-picking sessions run late into the night.
