"I can’t tell you enough how grateful we are to you and your organization AND all its members. We had the best showcase of the whole conference in YOUR ROOM. Go Girls! I especially had fun Saturday night with you all playin’ my banjo. Hope to see you at the FAR West conference in my town, Vancouver, WA USA." - Carol Harley, Misty River
"THANK YOU Madalyn for having us at the Folk Alliance! We had such a great time, and it was wonderful seeing you and Georgia. The talent in the GoGirls showcases was awesome as well as inspiring. They reminded us that we can't become complacent in our musicianship and song writing. Being part of the GoGirls is by far the best thing we've done for our music!" Rebecca and Lynn, Irrational Fear
"Just wanted to say how great it was to meet you and Georgia and all the other AMAZING GoGirls at Folk Alliance, and thank you for the opportunity to perform. I had no idea what to expect, and was kinda going knowing pretty much no one, and I left with lots of great friends and terrific experiences. It was like summer camp! :) Sorry I missed the jam Saturday night - I was running around so much, but didn't want to miss any of the GoGirls, so I kept popping in and out to listen, but to keep from being rude, I kept to the doorway. And of course, I was never disappointed :) Looking forward to many more memorable events and experiences with all the fellow Girls." - Genevieve
"We really had a great time performing in the GoGirls room and meeting fellow performers. What a great group!
It was an honor to be a part of it." - Danielle & Cregan, divineMAGgees
"I just want to thank y'all so much for everything! I wouldn't have made it to Folk Alliance without you, and I had the time of my life (not to mention making great connections)!" - Emily Herring
"THANK YOU Madalyn for inviting me to participate at Folk Alliance Private Showcase. THANK YOU for sharing your great energy, kindness, enthusiasm, and truly caring for the artists!" - Gina Livingston
