I’ve been selected to perform at the Mariposa Folk Festival Showcase Auditions in Orillia, Ontario on May 11th! Three of the acts who perform will be chosen to play at this summer’s festival.
I’m looking forward to sharing the stage with Hello Alone, Melissa Payne, Ozere, Nicholas Keays, Union Duke, The Cameron Brothers Band, Drew Tabor, and Graydon James and the Young Novelists.
The event takes place at Aladdin’s from 1 – 5pm on May 11. Free and open to all!
