Today a look back at this year’s Calgary Folk Music Festival, which happened last weekend. It was my first time there in a decade, and it had me wondering what took me so long to come back. Lots of highlights and sounds of the festival to share today! We’ve also got an exciting upcoming show to promote and some well-wishes for our favourite newlywed singer/songwriter!
