There's a movement afoot to keep us from
succumbing to the obvious temptations of hibernation
this weekend. It's called Winterfolk, an annual festival
that brings nearly 70 folky, bluesy and otherwise rootsy
artists to five club venues in the College and Spadina
area starting tomorrow and running through Sunday.
Besides showcases from well-known artists like Ray
Materick, Joe Hall, Bill Garrett, Ron Nigrini, Norm
Hacking, Jack de Keyzer, Danny Marks and Michael
Pickett, Winterfolk also presents the winners of its
continent-wide emerging talent showcase, who include New
Mexican Kyle Lange, Saskatchewan guitarist Joel Fafard,
acclaimed "sentimental soul" pianist Michael Johnston
and Ottawa jazz/folk duo Clear.
