Acoustic Harvest has been a huge supporter and presenter for the festival and continues its tradition of featuring the best local, national and international acoustic roots talent, all in cozy setting that (in tandem with Winterfolk values), fosters the building of friendships, community spirit and a love of music and the arts. Toronto festival-goers will have a chance to get a sneak preview of what’s in store at the 17TH ANNUAL WINTERFOLK BLUES AND ROOTS FESTIVAL. Artists will perform two sets in the round, which will include Nova Scotian sisters (now based in Toronto) Cassie and Maggie, putting their own 21st Century stamp on the Celtic soundtrack of this nation; more trad Celtic magic from father-daughter duo Alana & Leigh Cline; new-on-the-scene, accordion-driven trio SHAKE The Bellows brings Celtic tunes, French waltzes, Cajun songs and more; Donné Roberts who performs mainly in Malagasy, his mother tongue from his birthplace of Madagascar; dynamic blues harpist and guitarist Ken Yoshioka; and Award-winning jazz singer, songwriter and recording artist Ori Dagan. Then at 10 pm there'll be a short guitar-focused set by Brian Gladstone and Tony Quarrington.

A cosy community vibe! I appreciate the opportunity to check out some talented Toronto music. I thought it would be mostly older folk musicians but found a vast range of age and was blown away with catchy melodies a plenty!
