Mark & Val with ‘What we saw at the Folk Alliance, Volume 2’. Thursday night before the showcases we mostly hung out at the international stages but also took in a bit of Americana. So get ready for ODE, Plu, Tarabband, Calan, Perla Batalla, Kacy & Clayton, Blackberry Bushes Stringband, Darlingside, Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas, and Qristina & Quinn Bachand.
