You asked and we delivered! We are excited to announce that responses from a survey of club patrons in February heavily influenced programming decisions for the upcoming season. Survey preferences included a focus on Canadian artists (check, including seven Alberta and seven East Coast acts); balancing club favourites with broadening our appeal by booking new artists (check, with nine and 15 respectively); and requests for specific performers. Cara Luft, Irish Mythen, Royal Wood, Dave Gunning, Mallory Chipman and Backyard Betties are all examples in this regard. Several others, including Lennie Gallant and John Wort Hannam, are on our radar screen for future return appearances. Other superb acts making their CFC debuts next season include The Pairs, Inn Echo, Suzie Vinnick, Rory Makem and Russell deCarle. We can’t wait to roll out our stellar 54th Season lineup, starting Sept. 19 with The Once!
