The Line Up
You can check out the full line-up for the Calgary Folk Fest here.
Headliners include:
- Spoon, a rock-and-roll band from Austin, TX.
- Black Pumas, the psychedelic soul band made up of a Latin-rock guitarist who grew up on punk and hip-hop, and a busker who loves 50 Cent.
- Courtney Barnett, a ‘dead cool’ artist from Australia who will wow the crowd with her wonderful guitar stylings.
- Allison Russel from Nashville, delivering silky whispers to jazzy croon to R&B roar, always front and centre to envelop you into her poetic depiction of trauma and redemption. This show will be full of acoustic folk, country and bluesy sensibilities.
- K’Naan, known for his “Wavin’ Flag” hitmeister from the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and Top 40 hits like “Hurt Me Tomorrow” and “Take A Minute.” Expect a unique Afro-folk-hip hop sound.
- Josh Ritter, an American singer, songwriter, musician, and author named by Paste Magazine in 2006 as ‘one of the 100 greatest living songwriters’ for his deep, expressive voice, keen wit and evocative way with words.
- Watchhouse, a duo formed in North Carolina as Mandolin Orange (you may know their beautiful and soft track Golden Embers), will perform a set you can really just chill out to, and
- The Wood Brothers, multi-instrumentalists who are noted as masters of soulful folk.
