Sudbury Folk Festival- Northern Lights Festival Boreal

I had a lovely weekend in Sudbury. That was quite the most northern reach of Ontario i've touched yet. I sure felt it, with the mosquitoes.

I saw a small handful of brilliant artists. Joel Plaskett played the first night, Hawksley Workman the second, Jenn Grant the third and Bob Wiseman sprinkled in between all of that.

I love Jenn Grant. It was her live gig that pushed me to like her as much as I do. She played with just her violinist Kinley Dowling. I was amazed they were able to play practically every song off of her latest album 'Echoes'. I loved the light summer tone of her set, between the weather and the crowd it was perfect.
