This Wednesday, my friend Harrison arrives in Calgary on a magical jetplane. On Thursday night, a trio consisting of myself, my wife and Harrison will be attending something called the Calgary Folk Festival. Our weekend passes guarantee us four days of concerts by world-class musicians like Neko Case, Rufus Wainwright, Hawksley Workman, Sarah Slean, and about six hundred billion more artists. In honour of this occasion, I’d like to introduce you to the three musicians whose acts I am most looking forward to:
Hawksley Workman
Sarah Slean
Rufus Wainwright
To take a look at the other acts that will be present at the shows, check out the line-up posted on the Folk Fest’s website. And if you’re planning to attend the Festival yourself, then see you at Prince’s Island!
