O Canada Week (May 23-30)
This week, the Online Folk Festival salutes Canada (Happy Victoria Day!) with a week of Canadian music.
I have been reading the CanCon (Canadian Content) survey every week for the last couple years on the Folk DJ List and thinking what a great show you could do playing nothing but music made by Canadians. I asked one of the Canadians in the chat room what a good Canadian holiday would be to do this for, and she suggested Victoria Day (which is today, in fact).
And, so, here it is, the first week of strictly Canadian music on the Online Folk Festival. When you see the list below of Canadian artists, I hope you will realize that presenting these artists inlarger than usual does will make a great week of music:
Leonard Cohen, Bruce Cockburn, The Duhks, The ClumsyLovers, The Malvinas, Gordon Lightfoot, Moxy Fruvous,the Wailin' Jennys, Oh Susanna, kd lang, StephenFearing, Jann Arden, Jory Nash, Fred Eaglesmith, The Be Good Tanyas, Barry McLoughlin, Po' Girl, The Band,April Verch, David Francey, Enoch Kent, Tim Harrison, Great Big Sea, James Keelaghan, The Irish Rovers,Oscar Lopez, Joni Mitchell, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Martha Wainwright, Leahy, Le Vent du Nord, Lynn Miles, Cowboy Junkies and more.
I have about 18 hours worth of all Canadian tunes in rotation and hope to get another 7 to 8 hours worth uploaded tonight. I'm sure you will enjoy this special concept programming week.
