Performance Lane Performance Lane is one of the most popular features of the FARM conference. At this year’s FARMette, we are happy to offer 44 performance lane opportunities for attending performers! Each performer will get 10 minutes to show their stuff.

This two-time Folk Alliance International official showcase artist has travelled the world performing his brand of experimental music that is unwilling to be confined by genre.
