This weekend marked the release of the information that we wait all year for – the lineup for the Winnipeg Folk Festival! This year’s lineup is an interesting mix of legends and unknowns, and we heard from some of the expected highlights. We also got to some exciting new music, as well as a look ahead to next week’s Juno Awards. Lastly, we had a conversation with our old friend Martyn Joseph, who returns to Winnipeg after a few years’ absence.
