Congratulations to the 2025 GRAMMY winners! Billy Strings and Sierra Ferrell were both past Folk Alliance Official Showcase Artists; one of the producers on Trail of Flowers, Gary Paczosa, is a former FAI board member; Ruthie Foster hosted our International Folk Music Awards in the past. Kudos!

Brutal but accurate. And this is how #history will write about what is going on now. #USA #politics #authoritarianism

Musk's Junta Establishes Him as Head of Government
