Winter Roots Roundup

2 months ago

❄️🎶❄️ Winter Roots Roundup X, February 4-9 ❄️🎶❄️

For 10 years, the Winter Roots Roundup has celebrated the best in folk, roots, and blues music in conjunction with the Sound Studies Institute, University of Alberta and the Moses and Frances Asch Collection. Our mandate is to honour the work and philosophy of Folkways Records founder Moses Asch, whose life was shaped by an unshakeable belief in the power of “anything that is sound.”

A beloved tradition of the annual Winter Roots Roundup is the Women of Folkways concert, a celebration by women of women in the Folkways Records catalogue. This year we bring together Kaia Kater, Maria Dunn Music, and Dana Wylie. In a collaborative singer-in-the-round concert, these talented musicians will explore and celebrate the music of Folkways by presenting new interpretations of traditional folk songs, as well as their original songs to expand the tradition. This year’s concert is a co-presentation with the Northern Lights Folk Club.

When: Saturday, February 9, 2019
Time: Doors at 7:30 p.m.; Show at 8:00 p.m.
Where: Parkview Community Hall, 9135-146th Street
Tickets: Tix on the Square; $23 advance, $27 at the door
