FOLK NORTH Private Showcases at Folk Alliance International
Deadline to apply: November 22, 2026
Folk Canada and MusicOntario are joining forces again under the FOLK NORTH banner to host our legendary private showcase suite for three nights at Folk Alliance International (FAI) 2027.
Please note:
You must be a resident of and based in Canada to be eligible to apply.
Applicants will be assessed based on export readiness.
Showcases are brief – 15 minutes each, with 5 minutes to change over.
Showcases take place in suites in the host hotel. We will have light amplification with 3 channels but recommend an acoustic configuration, with only light percussion permitted.
FOLK NORTH will provide a sound technician for performers to access.
Members of Folk Canada and/or MusicOntario receive preferred consideration for showcase slots.
If selected to perform, each performing musician must be registered with the Folk Alliance International conference.
We suggest you start exploring funding/grant opportunities ASAP if you hope to offset costs related to attending a business and showcase conference like Folk Alliance.
Artists are responsible for their own travel expenses and visas, where applicable.
We appreciate all interest; however, for administrative purposes, only successful applicants will be contacted in December 2026.
