EP 243 | Terry Wickham-The state of Folk Music Festivals in Western Canada

hello

Terry Wickham, long-time Producer of Edmonton Folk Fest responds to the possible demise of the Vancouver Folk Fest and how it may affect other Festivals.

He also talks about the state of today’s touring industry. Off stage and on.

Let’s face it, music production and essential business are changing rapidly.

Costs are skyrocketing.

Artists are finding new and creative ways to make a living and extend their careers. Will your favorite festival still be up and running by the Summer? Have a listen.

Is there anyone or anything that can save Vancouver Folk Festival?

Maybe it’s you.

Some strong themes in this edition of The Stew.

We salute Sheryl Crow’s Birthday ()1952)

And songwriter Jerry Goffin, who with his then-wife Carol King wrote a lot of hits in the ’60s.

Natural Woman – Aretha

One fine day – Chiffons
Up on the roof – Drifters

Oh. And we start The Stew with Ray Charles – because on this day in 1959, he recorded What’d I say and he closed every show of his career with that song.

There’s some great new music from Michael Kaeshammer, Rory Block, Peaches, and Quiet, Ron Sexsmith &  Eva Cassidy.

A rare recording of Ry Cooder and David Lindley and their son and daughter live on stage at Vienna Opera House.

They lay into Mercury Blues.

There’s a segment when we go back to Winterland Ballroom in SF and relive the medley that Dylan and The Band finished The  Last  Waltz with.

Sublime!

Heads UP – Next week’s guest is BOOKER T JONES. The heart and soul of Stax Records. (25TH at Jack Singer)

And in two weeks

David Landreth about the Bonnie Bump The Bros. Landreth’s career is having!!

EP 160 | Terry Wickham-Producer Edmonton Folk Music Festival-Taking It To The Streets

hello

This week’s guest is Terry Wickham. The hard-working and much-admired Producer of the Edmonton Folk Music Festival.

Thing is – there is no Festival this year.

However, after much discussion, they have come up with a Plan B.

To quote The Doobie Brothers they’re Taking it to the Streets.

It reminds me of Dan Mangan’s Sidedoor concept.

Hosts need artists. Artists need hosts.

So, Terry and his team have come up with Taking it to the Streets.

Music fans can offer their street, lawn, backyard, deck, pier.

Artists will all be from the Edmonton area.

Terry explains how you can apply to be a host.

Find the complete details so you can consider them wisely.

And check out the playlist below – Lots of new tunes from

Applications are open for Edmonton-area residents to host a street concert and enjoy the sounds of the folk fest with their neighbors from the comfort of their own front yards. Artist fees, programming, and production are covered by the festival – hosts just need to step forward to organize their street with neighbors. Information, guidelines, and forms can be found at www.edmontonfolkfest.org. The deadline to apply is June 30.

Mulligan Stew June 12th 2021- Taking it to the Streets

hello

Terry Wickham joins us in Hour Two of The Stew with background on Taking it to the Streets.

It’s a re-think from the Edmonton Folk Music Festival team.

Local music fans, who have space for artists to play in (Backyard, cul-de-sac,  your street,  patio etc.) can apply to host local artists with controlled audience numbers.

Terry Festival Producer of EFMF  says the response has been really good.

They’re looking forward to taking the music out of the festival setting and onto the streets. Best of all it’s featuring  Edmonton artists.

Terry tells us how to apply if you want to host an artist and what size audiences may be in play.

Mulligan Stew August 8th 2015- Live at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival

hello

edmonton
Today at 5PM…Mulligan Stew is LIVE at the edmonton folk festival..
5-7PM Mountain time. 4-6 Pacific. Streaming live click here: LISTEN LIVE!Screen Shot 2015-08-08 at 9.46.38 AM

 
Right at 5pm its one of the hottest emerging acts anywhere.
2 nights ago Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats earned and received a standing ovation from the Jimmy Fallon studio audience..for their killer single SOB. (check out the video)

5 years ago Daniel would have shown up as a solo act in edmonton..just a guy, a guitar and his songs.
Now he brings a serious R&B band..with horns, B3 organ and tunes you’d swear came from the golden days of Stax.
Best of all, they kick off the show..right at 5PM.  Don’t miss these guys..
530 brings  the pride of New Brunswick Matt Anderson.
Matt brings the whole package..A voice that can switch from a whisper to a growl.  Complete mastery of his guitar and ever improving songs..the latest from his best LP ever – Weightless.
It seems he’s never not on the road but one of the highlights of his year is playing this festival in Edmonton. Not bad for a guy who has stubby fingers…

Theres a really fine story by Tom Murray in todays Edmonton Journal that details the difficult formative years of EFMF. How they almost went under 30 years ago and how a band of dedicated volunteers and music types pulled together to keep it alive..
They included Holger Petersen & Tom Coxworth from CKUA. Then along came Terry Wickham.who took over leadership and he/they began to build the outstanding event we enjoy today.
Terry Wickham guests right at 6PM.  He brings the stories with him.
630 brings Danny Michel…who, after moving to Belize and recording with local musicians released an amazing album called BlackBirds are dancing over me.
It received so many plays on so many shows that it was declared the album of the year on the CKUA Top 100.
We’re going to talk to him about his latest project – the smaller calmer School Night Mondays at the Dakota Tavern in Toronto. and jamming with astronaut Chris Hadfield.

and then two highlights from last years Festival.
Daniel Lanois and Dan Mangan and Blacksmith

Enjoy!!  tdm
