Calgary Folk Fest 2006
I had a wonderful time at the Calgary Folk Fest. Here are some of the highlights...
Robbie Fulks - High-energy and hilarious alt-country singer-songwriter. Has been teaming up with Donnie Barnes which would be quite the sight to see. This picture looks so serious - probably the only moment in the show when he wasn't hamming it up.
Hearing Ronnie Hayward was a definite high-point of the weekend for me.
Setting up for the Prairie Home Companions workshop with House of Doc, Romi Mayes, La raquette à claquettes and Ronnie Hayward. That's at least 15 people to setup.
More Prairie Home Companion session setup - can you spot Rebecca Harder's (House of Doc) shoes?
One of the best surprises for me was Romi Mayes. She writes great songs - if you get a chance catch her show.
Ronnie Hayward pouring on the rockabilly charm.
