EP 310 | Mulligan Stew Summer Music Festivals in Canadian West

It all started as a single interview about the Edmonton Folk Festival. We seemed to be talking about the "other" festivals and could they survive the Covid years. That conversation turned into the first group interview with the artistic directors of Calgary, Winnipeg, Canmore and Vancouver Folk Festivals. It was fun and informative, so we've decided to make it a yearly gathering. Here's the guest lineup this year. They each bring with them stories of the artists they booked and why.
