[Editor’s note: This week, Vancouver Folk Music Festival programmers Sarah Kim and Dugg Simpson have collaborated on a selection of their top artist picks from this year’s festival. Kim works in marketing there and Simpson is the artistic director.]
The Vancouver Folk Music Festival is one of Vancouver’s most well attended festivals. This year, held July 14th to 16th in Vancouver’s Jericho Beach Park, it will feature “folk” music like live dub, hip hop, Appalachian, Batwa, Bhangra and Celtic. This year, there’ll also be a Festival Road Show, starting July 12 which kicks off with a free Wednesday night concert in Grandview Park, followed by two nightly shows at Rime on Commercial Drive.
