With performance ASL for select concerts by Judi Miller
Judi Miller has been active in the filk community since the 1980s. She won the Pegasus Award for Best Performer in 2006 and 2017 and was admitted to the Filk Hall of Fame in 2017. Judi is best known for her sign-language musical interpretation, which she has done for concerts at our conference and elsewhere for many years. She was our 30th Anniversary Honors Guest in 2019 and we are very glad that she can be with us again.
Staff:
Music-Programming Coordinator
W. Randy Hoffman is a filker and an aficionado of many types of fannish music who originally hails from Pittsburgh but currently resides in Maryland. He has written an enormous number of songs, has won numerous songwriting contests, has been nominated for seven Pegasus Awards, has been a member of the Filk Hall of Fame since 2019, and has been running the music program at Confluence—which he considers his home convention—since 1995.
Randy brings his own brand of wacky fun to every Confluence. We are always grateful for his willingness to put in the enormous volunteer hours it takes every year to put on the successful Confluence music track. Email Randy at: music@confluence-sff.org
Sound Technicians:
Mark Peters has been a member of the filk community since at least 1999. In addition to running sound here at Confluence and at Ohio Valley Filk Fest (OVFF) and Marcon in Columbus, OH, he is a member of the OVFF convention committee, often providing a calm voice in a sea of chaos. Mark has a passion for filk, advocating for filkers and other performers who might be overlooked or not as well-known as they should be. He was inducted to the Filk Hall of Fame in 2022.
Roberta Slocumb has been a member of the filk community for many years and has run the music programming at Marcon in Columbus for the past decade or so.
In case you glossed over this detail, W. Randy Hoffman, Mark Peters and Judi Miller are all Filk Hall of Famers! Our lucky attendees get to experience their Confluence music with Hall-of-Fame-level organization and presentation. Just thought you might want to know. 😊
