The Fretless, Mariel Buckley, Tony Furtado & Luke Price, Pierre Schryer & Adam Dobres

World touring and award-winning fiddling group The Fretless fuse string music and traditional styles into intricate, beautiful, high-energy arrangements. Now touring with award winning vocalist Madeleine Roger

Mariel Buckley is the kind of artist that doesn’t come along too often. At once a classic in the great tradition of country and western songwriters from Alberta and also an innovative and ground breaking artist who is defining the genre anew with her hard hitting lyrics and fascinating melodies. CKUA album of the year winner, Mariel Buckley is an artist to watch. She will be appearing with her fantastic four-piece band at all of her Folkn’fiddle Festival performances.

Tony Furtado & Luke Price
Very few musicians of any stripe so personify a musical genre as completely as Tony Furtado embodies Americana roots music. Tony is an evocative and soulful singer, a wide-ranging songwriter and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist adept on banjo, cello-banjo, slide guitar, and baritone ukulele who mixes and matches sounds and styles with the flair of a master chef.

Pierre Schryer & Adam are two of Canada’s top instrumentalists but like with any great artistic combination, something happens when they play together that elevates their already striking virtuosity to give everyone the feeling that magic is in the air.
