TRFF Troubadours

Do you need performers for your next function or event?

Why not benefit the Taunton River Watershed Alliance and the Taunton River Folk Festival (TRFF) by hiring one or more of the TRFF Troubadours, an affiliation of great local and national acts representing a wide variety of musical styles?

Hiring the TRFF Troubadours will both meet your need for great music and help you benefit important organizations out there working for your community.

Fees are reasonable, and several of the TRFF Troubadours are of national stature - and all have something positive to say with their music!

Why hire just any entertainment when, by hiring the TRFF Troubadours, the fee you pay will help support important, local organizations working to improve the environment and endeavoring to build a more positive reputation for our local community?

A portion of every fee will be donated to the Taunton River Watershed Alliance and to the annual budget of the Taunton River Folk Festival.
