t's hard to overlook the fact that Montreal is a fantastic music city. But with all the renowned international acts constantly filtering into the city, it's easy to forget that Montreal has a vital local music scene. The first annual PennyFest celebrates local musicians and presents them to the paying masses. The genres range from folk to pop to country with acts such as Courtney Wing, HuDost, Katie Moore, and Echo Hunters. But the real draw is Penny Lang, the folk singer-songwriter legend from whom the festival gets its name. She will headline all three days and bring in folkies from around the city and beyond. The festival takes place from tonight until Saturday at Centre St-Ambroise.
