Music in the Trees

Summer brings about or should bring about sunshine, warm breezes the occasional thunderstorm and most of all music. While these reviews will be largely Brandon based for the time being, they will eventually branch out into bands that I have personal contacts with as well as those I meet online, and friends of friends of friends.

Brandon Mb, is an intimate performing venue and hosts many small performances for beginning artists during the year as well as attracting larger acts and more famed performers such as Buffy Sainte Marie and Randy Bachman. Coming up in the near future is the Brandon Folk, Music and Art Festival which now in its 26th year has grown astronomically in the last few years. Buffy Sainte Marie is this year's big name, and as well as perform, she will be hosting workshops with talented artists who are just at the beginning of their artistic paths.

So, what follows is the beginning of my reviews, of some very fantastic artists and musicians who will be part of the Brandon Folk Festival this year. While it's only my opinion, I believe strongly in the folk festival and its commitment both to the artists and our community. I hope these reviews are helpful, give you some new information and encourage you to form your own.
