And with that, it’s a wrap on The Edmonton Folk Music Festival 2025. Excellent work by the organizers, given some bumps, that’s 46 years of music making in the books. #efmf #yeg

Mt. Joy rounded out the evening in the most Folk Fest way… in the pouring rain.

My socks my be soggy, but that’s okay. #efmf #yeg

Richy Mitch & the Coal Miners were fantastic. Was fun to see the duet with Jesse Welles!

Then John Butler, all the way from Australia, stunned the audience. He’s such a talented guitarist! #efmf #yeg

Okay so I’m officially a Jesse Welles fan. His lyrics are absolutely top notch on point. Totally worth the risk in a brief thunderstorm! 🌩️

Go find his music wherever you consume music. #efmf #yeg

Day FOUR on the hill with Tallisk from Scotland! It was a Celtic party! #efmf #yeg

Holy moly, what an evening. Danielle Ponder with an INCREDIBLE voice and then The Roots blew the imaginary roof off the festival with a next level party. #efmf #yeg

I expected The Roots to be good, I just didn’t expect it to be THAT good. Seamless remixing of some of the best music you’ve ever heard with an enormous amount of musicians at the peak of their craft playing non-stop for an hour and a half. I’m floored. I will remember this until the day I die.

Goldie Boutilier killing it as usual. Every time we see her she just gets better and better. So excited to see her success! #efmf #yeg

The Slocan Ramblers were wonderful. Incredibly talented and super catchy. #efmf #yeg

On Gallagher Hill this sunny breezy Edmonton afternoon for a perfect day of Folkfest. On stage right now? Las Cafeteras, electric Afro-Mexican rhythms.

Allison Russell was just amazing. So cool to have her return to her very first festival as a headliner. Very well deserved! #efmf #yeg

Stephen Wilson Jr, his father’s son, was pretty good for never actually moving his lips. #efmf #yeg

The Mentors session with Aysanabee, AHI, Julianna Riolino, and Jennifer Castle was fantastic. Honestly, the sessions are one of the better reasons to come to Folk Fest! #efmf #yeg

Current Swell was… swell! Definitely an add to my playlist. #efmf #yeg

Rainbow Kitten Surprise was interesting. Not really my thing but they put on a great show. #efmf #yeg

Serena Ryder is absolutely killing it as always. #efmf #yeg

Hello from the hill! #efmf #yeg

Last night I finally realized my almost life-long dream of seeing Robert Plant live. Alison Krauss was fabulous on vocals and fiddle, and I enjoyed songs from their two albums as well as some Led Zeppelin classics. #yeg #efmf #efmf2024 #robertplant #alisonkrauss

Getting primed to buy our Edmonton Folk Festival tickets for this year. Sucks that it’s Ticketmaster but they're such a monopoly now I understand how the festival is basically stuck with them.

An #efmf tradition in beautiful #yeg: photographing the stunning sunsets during the mainstage performances. #efmf2023

Very impressed by La Dame Blanche's very powerful performance, and the incomparable Aysanabee closes the show for me - there's still more music going on, but I'm pooped and saw everything I wanted to see and then some.

Had a great first time attending the whole 4 day festival! So much great music, so many talented artists, such a wonderful chill crowd and atmosphere. ❤️

I really didn't know what to expect from an improv collab between Le Vent du Nord, Ashley MacIsaac, and Cha Wa, but holy hell I'm blown away.

There is nothing like a beautiful Saturday night on the hill at #efmf while #TheTeskyBrothers hit us with some blues from down under.

A really remarkable set by Kimi Djebate, of Guinea-Bissau, via Portugal. Yes. My husband and I were dancing beside the stage. We have become those people. #Edmonton #yeg #efmf #efmf2023 #EdmontonFolkFestival

Folkfest Time with Cha Wa, billed as a “New Orléans Mardi Gras Indian Krewe.” #Edmonton #yeg #EdmontonFolkFestival #EFMF #efmf2023 #NewOrleans #ChaWa

And now - taking the foot bridge to Gallagher Park and the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. #Edmonton #yeg #NorthSaskatchewanRiver #EFMF (I see signs that accidental beach is back.) (Edited on Sunday morning.)
