Performer Housing NEEDED!
We are really excited about our upcoming SFFolk and Acoustic Music Festival
Jan 30-Feb 1, 2026. We have several performers who are traveling to south
Florida and are in need of housing for the weekend.
If you have a spare room and can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Some performers have their own transportation, while others may need a ride
to and from the festival. Please indicate whether you can provide a room
(for 1 or 2) & if you can also accommodate transportation if needed.
*People that house musicians know how much fun & fulfilling it is & hosts
are given one (1) Fri-Sunday weekend ticket pass. *
Please email Lisa Lippman @*Liblogs27@gmail.com <Liblogs27@gmail.com>*
with your name & phone number and she will call you promptly. If there is a
delay, it is due to travel.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has already volunteered to host
musicians.
