 hen you hear the word folk and festival together, you might think of some ukulele-playing, head-scarf-wearing, potato-sack-skirt tree-huggers. Folk actually isn't as specific (or corny) as you might think, and includes so many styles of music including blues, Celtic, traditional music, roots, global grooves, cutting-edge sounds, dub, bluegrass, funk, country, hip-hop, R& B, old-timey, spoken word (just to name a few).
The fest will not only showcase unknowns, but rather over 65 performances that include many mainstream artists from around the world. Some famous faces include Sam Roberts, Bedouin Soundclash and Aimee Mann.
So come spread your blankets, bring your kids (they get in for free), go shopping for hand-crafted items at the craft market, eat food from around the world that's sold at the concessionaires, and just enjoy the music. –M.K.
Tickets are $32.50 - $60 @ Ticketmaster or 403-777-0000
