Long-standing Canadian favorites Grapes of Wrath bring a stellar track record and a brand-new album to the Folk main stage.
Vancouver’s Hey Ocean! combines sheer talent, charismatic songs, and an undeniably energetic live show, making them a must-see band. They are up for a Juno this year.
Hayden, a Toronto-based singer-songwriter, has been performing his lyrical offerings for over two decades. His introspective personality and musical independence will intrigue you.
“Folk is thrilled to present a great mix of high profile, nationally popular acts, along with great emerging talent,” said Executive Director Penny Ruvinsky. “At Folk, you’ll hear some of the music you know and love and then come away with a whole new list of favourites that you’ve never heard of before.”
Tickets for the 2013 Folk on the Rocks Music Festival go on sale Friday April 19th, at the “early-bird” rate (“advance” rate begins May 13) and are available at Fiddles & Stix, 5018-52nd St., Yellowknife and on-line at www.folkontherocks.com. Entering its 33rd year, Folk on the Rocks is Northern Canada’s largest festival north of 60.
