Welcome to the 2022 Summer Music Festivals. Part Two We’ve kept Edmonton, Calgary and the next event the Vancouver Folk Festival in the mix.  Added this week is HUFF  the Halifax Urban Folk Festival. Its artistic director is a classic Canadian troublemaker, Mike Campbell.  The same Mike who co-hosted Mike and Mike for  MuchMusic.  Then curated the rise of a great music room  The Carleton in Halifax. It just won the best small live room in Canada.  Like its leader,  the HUFF is wonderfully different.   Enjoy!! Here we go… When the pandemic hit at the beginning of 2019 anything that qualified as a gathering took the brunt of the hit.   Restaurants, concerts, sports, schools, music tours, group travel, etc!   Festivals of all descriptions were immediately shut down and artists went home and stayed home.       So, here we are two years later and this summer the music festivals have been fully booked by artists who can’t wait to get on the road and on stage. To be met by audiences and music fans who truly missed the live music experience.   We’ll touch on four music festivals but they do represent all festivals, big and small.  Please find one near you and support the festival and the artists.   Each web link below has info on the performers, their schedules, and ticket sales.     Our guests are   Terry Wickham – Producer,  Edmonton Folk Music Festival Aug 4-7   www.edmontonfolkfest.org   Kerry Clarke — Artistic Director Calgary Folk Fest  Prince’s Island Park July 21-24   www.calgaryfolkfest.com   Debbie Salmonsen – Artistic Director Vancouver Folk Fest – Jericho Beach July 15-17   www.vancouverfolkfest.com   www.thefestival.bc.ca   Mike Campbell.
