Edmonton Folk Festival 2010 – Aug 5th – 8th

Festival City does it again with a great turnout at the annual Edmonton Folk Music Festival. With a mix of celtic, bluegrass, blues, gospel, roots, world beat and singer/songwriters, and some country and R&B thrown into the mix, Folk Fest has a little taste for almost every music lover.  The super laid back crowd and awesome setting (Gallagher Park just off the North Sask. River) creates a very unique and easy going vibe unrivaled by any music fest I’ve been to.

This years main stagers included Bobby “Blue” Bland, Van Morrison, Patrick Watson & the Wooden Arms, Kate Rusby, Gord Downie & the Country of Miracles, Ben Harper and RELENTLESS7, The Levon Helm Band, Calexico, Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba, Kailash Kher’s Kailasa, Dailey & Vincent, Vieux Farka Toure, Sarah Harmer, Brandi Carlile, Colin Hay, Te Vaka, Aterciopelados, Four Men & a Dog, Jakob Dylan & the Three Legs, and John Prine.

Edmonton Folk Fest 2011 runs from August 4th – 7th
