Eaglewood is drawing near!

Eaglewood (Eaglewood)

Only -165 days until the festival.  Things are shaping up wonderfully.  We’ve added a couple more acts to the lineup, including a great local songwriter and singer, Shaman Ayerhart.  Shaman was introduced to us by Nish Radio’s Morgan Preister (they guy who introduced us to Adam Baillie from the 2009 Eaglewood), who brought him along to our Volunteer garden party in June.  He entertained the troops there, and we know he’s going to entertain you at the festival.  More and more people from the local community are really stepping up and participating in making this festival great.  If you’re interested in getting involved, head on over to our Volunteer page and signup or contact us with questions.

One of the acts that we’re very excited about being at the festival this year is Namgar, joining us all the way from Mongolia.  They play a mix of traditional and contemporary instruments and have an incredible sound, unlike anything that’s been at the festival before.  They’ll be closing out the concert on Saturday night.  There’ll be lots of great music to discover, and of course chances for you to participate yourself at the Open Stage, which is happening on both Saturday and Sunday and will be graciously hosted this year by David Hein, coming fresh of a very successful run of his show My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding in Toronto.

See you at the festival!
