On my way to Canmore for the Folk Fest.

Victoria International Airport → Calgary International Airport → Canmore, Alberta


One of my favorite parts of @edmfolkfest is the @ckuaradio tent with their live broadcasts. Had a chance to listen to @shakeygraves perform some songs acoustic and talk about songwriting. Dozens of people were huddled in the rain and mud to listen to Alberta public radio! #publicradio #livemusic #indie


Trying to keep dry on the last day of folk fest. Trying.


One tarp up and one tarp to the right of the golden tarp!

Family festival tarp burrito to keep out of the torrential rain for the @edmfolkfest. We managed to stick it out until the end! #folkfest #music #folk #efmf17

Another year, another @edmfolkfest lottery. #folk #music #efmf17 #folkfest

In case you needed a reminder, Edmonton is beautiful.



There's a whiff of maple syrup in the air. I'm not sure if it's a weird form of pathetic fallacy or not.


We will win the Edmonton Folk Fest tarp this year. It has been foretold.


Can't imagine a better place to hold a folk festival than cradled by the Rockies in Canmore!

I'm so glad Andrew Donnelly is MCing the Canmore folk-fest too this year; it's going to be a blast.
