Brandon Sun - ONLINE EDITION
Harvest Sun Music Festival lineup announced
Folk legends, roots music heroes and children’s entertainers will all take the stage at the Harvest Sun Music Festival in Kelwood, Man. from Aug. 13 to 14, 2010.
Artistic Director Nadia Kuhl formally announced the lineup at McNally Robinson Booksellers at Grant Park Mall in Winnipeg today.
Aside from featuring world-class music, the event raises the profile of two vital Manitoba farm organizations: Manitoba Farmers With Disabilities and the Manitoba Farm and Rural Stress Line.
Among the headliners:
• Canadian folk icon, Sylvia Tyson - From 1959 to 1974, Sylvia was half of the popular folk duo Ian & Sylvia. More recently, she has been a member of the all-female folk group, Quartette.
• 2010 Juno Award winners Digging Roots – This talented band just won the Aboriginal Album of the Year at this year’s Junos for their CD, We Are (produced with Kinnie Starr). "Rootsy goodness" featuring their own tube-electrified acoustic guitar sound.
• French-Canadian vocal quartet, Chic Gamine - the impishly charming Winnipeg/Montreal-based band has been serenading its audiences since the summer of 2007.
• Al Simmons – One of Manitoba’s best loved children’s entertainers. Al’s multi-prop, music filled, off the wall performances have elevated audiences worldwide.
• Alana Levandoski – a well-known staple of the Americana/Pop/Roots music scene, Alana has performed throughout Canada, England, Scotland, Wales, France, The Netherlands, Spain and Ireland.
• Don Amero – Don’s blend of pop/rock music has been recognized with hardware from both the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards and Canadian Folk Music Awards.
• Also on the bill: Keith and Renee, Nuphunk Orchestra, Dan Frechette and the Dylanaires, Jacob & Lily, Doug & Jess Band, Kerri Woelke, Last Ditch on the Left, Still Standing, and Rick Neufeld.
The Harvest Sun Music Festival is Kelwood’s premier outdoor concert event, attracting hundreds to its tiny hamlet near Riding Mountain National Park.
