"NASC was one of the most pivotal points for me in my exploration of folk music and folk singing. I found that it fulfilled a role of acceptance that I haven't found elsewhere... Everyone was equal regardless of previous experience, age, background or accomplishments, and it is something that I think speaks lots for the community."
Emily Adestedt, Swedish Singing Student, NASC 2025
