Hans York who recently performed at the May 10 Fresno Folklore Society concert  is one of the six 2008 winners of the Kerrville New Folk Festival singer/songwriter combination. Two of his songs from his new album YOUNG AMELIA were entered in the competition.  There were 800 entries and 32 semifinalists and six winners.

This is in part due to the peer-professional judging and the festival’s long history of recognizing emerging artists who have later gone on to wider success.  The six winners are
