Listen Later

Ted Wesley moved to Yellowknife in the early 1960s and married Leslie Harder. Later they formed “The Tundra Folk” trio with Andy Steen. In 1967 they performed on the Centennial barge and toured the high arctic in a Cessna 185. Ted recorded 3 albums between 1973 -77. His third, “North of Canada” sold more than 70,000 albums and earned a Juno nomination for Country Male Vocalist of the Year. Ted and Leslie Wesley were among the original founders of the “Folk on the Rocks” music festival in 1980. Have a great weekend and we'll see you on Monday.
