Jez Lowe

  Jez has been described as Northeast England’s chief ambassador for 
folk music.  “Lowe is a songwriter from his tradition, full of an 
Englishman’s ironies, practical jokes and tomfoolery.  His music 
sounds traditional, but it’s a new tradition he’s making up as he  goes along.”

 


Feature

Pan Canadian
New Folk Ensemble

Kim Barlow, Christine Fellows, and Old Man Luedecke are cherished 
Canadian artists who span a wide geography as well as lyrical subject 
matter and musical styles.  They will share the stage with accompanists on violin, cello and percussion. 


Feature

  Multi-instrumentalist, producer and multi-award winner Steve Dawson  
has evolved into a musical chameleon.  Steve’s arsenal of instruments  
always grows, but includes all kinds of guitars, banjo, ukulele,  
Weissenborn Hawaiian guitar, dobro, lap steel, and most recently the  
pedal steel.  His studio work as a musician adds up to over 50 albums
Feature


  Outlaw Social is a five piece band from Victoria, born out of 
friendship and tempered by a mutual passion for traditional string  music.  Three talented and uniquely emotive lead vocalists are  carried by equally spectacular playing on traditional string  instruments and electric guitar, making for a sound that is vibrant  and original.  Their repertoire includes powerful original 
songwriting, thoughtful interpretations of traditional music, and a  few try inspired covers of contemporary songs.


Feature

Tom Russell

  A first for the Folk Club, there will be
no opening act so that we  may enjoy an entire “evening with Tom Russell”.  Powerful songwriter  of the American West, Russell has recorded 21 albums of original 
material, appeared numerous times on Letterman, had material recorded  by the likes of Johnny Cash, k.d. lang and scores of others, and his 
songs have appeared in a dozen films.
