ABOUT ELISE GRECCO

The Tucson Folk Festival vendor marketplace, featuring Arts & Crafts booths, Food Vendors, and Exhibitors, is named in the memory of one of the Festivals long time contributors, Elise Grecco.

Elise Grecco, the well-loved, gregarious and velvet-voiced musician, was an enthusiastic advocate for music and a hard-working matriarch of the Folk Festival. Over the years, she became an increasingly integral part of the jigsaw puzzle that’s called the Tucson Folk Festival. As the Festival grew, Elise continued to take on bigger roles during throughout the year, serving as TKMA Board President 1996 and 1997.

Elise will be remembered handing out her purse-full-of Folk Fest flyers at the 4th Avenue Street Fairs and roaming the lobby of Hotel Congress or the Rialto during intermissions, always spreading the word about the Tucson Folk Festival.  If it was needed, she’d schlep cases of water and soda from Costco, pick-up T-shirts, CDs, or transport musicians who needed a ride.  She was often the one who would bush-whack through the red tape required to get permits to conduct the Festival each year; it takes a village of bureaucrats to put on the Tucson Folk Festival. After decades of work, behind-the-scenes organizing, on the ground directing, and tying up loose ends afterward, her legacy is the Tucson Folk Festival.
