The Trout Forest Music Festival is right around the corner and organizers have released the official bill for the 13th annual event, which is set for August 8 to 10.
“Surrounded only by fresh air, trees, a swimming hole and a thousand of your closest friends – the best little festival in Canada has lots of everything for you this year,” said Artistic Director Devin Latimer.
Latimer has selected various artists and performers from across Canada to entertain for the weekend of Music in the Woods. Six acts were also selected from the series of regional auditions that were held in Dryden, Kenora, Winnipeg and Ear Falls.
Regional performers this year include: Erik Bleich, Dryden auditions; Mel Stewart, Dryden auditions; Matthew Chapeskie, Kenora auditions; Marvin Young, Kenora auditions; Jim Teskey and Don Wilson, Ear Falls auditions; Cal and Luke Hamilton, Winnipeg auditions.
“We have bluegrass and country coming in from the North and West in the form of Hungry Hill from the Yukon, Barley Wik from British Columbia and Deep Dark Woods from Saskatchewan,” confirmed Latimer. “The blues are joining us from the east via Quebecer and Juno winner Ray Bonneville and Thunder Bay native Dave Jonasson. Add that to some High and Lonesome sounds from everybody’s favourite Winnipeg institution - Righteous Ike, The Perpetrators, Scott Nolan and Joanna Miller - and the roots of a great weekend are firmly in place.”
