EFMF E-News – September 2023

September 15, 2023 /

 

Thank you for your tremendous support.
We look forward to being back on the hill with you next year, August 8 – 11, 2024

I am often asked ” What was your highlight of the festival?”
This year it was an easy choice.
I was watching a deer at Area 4 late on Sunday afternoon. Then it turned and jumped over a 4 foot fence and headed east.
There were, of course, many musical highlights and surprises like Greensky Bluegrass, The Teskey Brothers and Steph Strings. You will have your own.
It seemed to me that the changes that were made to the beer lineup worked.
Our Site Crew, as always, was exceptional.
And again, the weather cooperated. We were indeed blessed.
Please feel free to send me any suggestions for artists or improvements and I will see you all again from August 8-11 in 2024.

 

Terry Wickham, Producer

Five years after rising to international acclaim with his seminal, award-winning album Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, Jeremy Dutcher makes his Winspear Centre debut with a new band and pivotal new music. On the Motewolonuwok tour, Dutcher invites audiences to be transformed by music that is more personal and intimate than ever, yet pushes the boundaries of his unique sonic landscape.

This next sonic journey is rooted in an ancestor quote:
Tan qiniw iyuwok wasis kpomawsuwinuwok, ‘tankeyutomon-oc kihtahkomikomon.
As long as there is a child among our people, we will protect the land.
