A few things to note…
If you haven’t heard, Simon & Garfunkle’s MTS Centre May 5th gig is postponed to July 8th, which is really really untimely.
Other than Gord Downie & the Country of Miracles, a few others were recently added to the whopping folk fest bill: Ghostkeeper, Kinnie Star, and Trio Bembe.
The short sets (between main stage acts) are still to be announced. Personally, I’m hoping Europe plays a quick set right before Arrested Development, while GOB dazzles the eye with some
In non-folk fest concert news…
Toronto pop-rockers Sweet Thing stop by the Pyramid on June 4th.
British folk-pop songstress Helen White is there on May 14th.
And lastly, Reflection Eternal performs at the Pyramid on June 2nd.
