History:
The Birmingham Folk Festival, formerly known as the Compound Folk Festival, had its beginning during the summer of 2006. The Compound Folk Festival was held at a small farm in Hoover, Alabama, lovingly referred to as “The Compound.” In years past, we have been fortunate enough to play host to some of the area's most accomplished, original artists, and this year’s line up will be even better!
