This Years Van Folk Fest

So the lineup has been fully revealed for this years Vancouver Folk Fest and i'm pretty excited about it. I went last year and while it was tons of fun, I had hopes that maybe they would add more Canadian acts, especially bigger indie acts (is there such a thing, bigger indie, anyways). Well the lineup is out and it's pretty solid I must say, especially thanks to having Joel Plaskett Emergency, Danny Michel, Elliott Brood, Buck 65, the Burning Hell, Jim Bryson & the weakerthans, as well as having some of my other favorites such as Josh Ritter and Justin Townes Earle. Even going through the list of acts there's quite a few other acts that I really want to see like Emily Wells and Graveyard Train. So really, you can't beat a weekend of hanging out at Jericho Beach, going to workshops, checking out all the little vendors and enjoying some fantastic fok and world music. Here's some sampling of some of the people I'm excited to see, enjoi!

Elliott Brood- Fingers and Tongues

Justin Townes Earle- Midnight at the Movies

Jim Bryson & the weakerthans- Freeways in the Frontyard

Joel Plaskett Emergency- Maybe We Should Just Go Home

Graveyard Train- Tall Shadow

Emily Wells- Passenger

Imaginary Cities- Where'd all the Living Go

the Duhks- Mists of Down Below
