Vancouver Folk Music Festival 2012
Jericho Park Beach July 14-16
This was the 35th year for the festival at Jericho Park Beach. The weather was pretty good for most of it and the line up was impressive. There was a strong Canadian component on the list of performers. Dan Mangan, Hey Rossetta, and K’naan are just a few that took to the main stage. Here are a few photos.

This year’s festival took place from July17-19, 2009. I didn’t get pictures of everyone I saw performing and some shots didn’t turn out at all, but here are a few that did. Mavis Staples and Dan Mangan were a couple performances not pictured here.

Vancouver Folk Music Festival 2008
This was the 31st annual Folk Fest in Vancouver that took place July 18-20th, 2008. It was my first time at this musical extravaganza and it was an incredible, if sometimes overwhelming, weekend. I took a few photos but the camera wasn’t very good and I didn’t shoot very much. I was primarily interested in hearing as much music as I could.
Also performing at the Festival was Michael Franti and Spearhead, well know BC band Spirit of the West, Feron, Martin Sexton, Madagascar Slim, Abigail Washburn and The Sparrow Quartet with Bela Fleck, Casey Driessen and Ben Sollee, and Jim Byrnes joined the Sojourners.
There are likely several well-know performers that I have either forgotten or overlooked. There were also some good food venues that were very busy at meal times, and a beer garden, its inaugural year. Here are a some of the photos I salvaged from that weekend.
