Sunday July 28th @market_hall_pac ! Peterborough Folk Fest presents James McKenty with special guest Jimmy Bowskill ( The Sheepdogs) .In 2002, James McKenty wrote and recorded his debut album, Restless Soul. Much to his surprise, music fans and fellow musicians received the album with open hearts. The PFF awarded James the emerging artist award and he went on to write four studio albums with his band,The Spades. Seventeen years later, James is thrilled to be performing Restless Soul in its entirety along with original studio musicians. James will be joined by special guests and the talented Jimmy Bowskill will start the show as he did for the Restless Soul CD release years ago. Join us for an intimate night of music to celebrate James and the record that started it all. It's an EARLY NIGHT, Doors open at 6pm, show to at 7pm. Tickets avail online or at the hall. https://tickets.markethall.org/ordertickets.asp?p=845

Last night the city of Peterborough reconized the hard work of our board Chair Malcolm Byard & Vice Chair/ Artistic Director Ryan Kemp on their hard work and countless efforts with the Peterborough Folk Festival . Both volunteers dedicate over 700+ hours a year each and have done so over the past 5 years ! The hard work of Byard/Kemp in the past 5 years alone has led to our winter festival growing to 7 days and 20+ artists (from 1 day ) , the summer festival expanding to 2 days at Nichols oval , attendance & donations have risen 5x since 2015 as well as the number of artists hired each year by the festival and this year 2 kick off concerts sees the festival expanding to 4 days! You will often see the two setting up the pa or working the sound board at these events above and beyond their work behind the scenes with grant writing, sponsorships , artists bookings etc. We are proud to produce 30+ concerts/events a year in Peterborough as we support our local community and the duos continued efforts in creating new community partnerships with great organizations like Vegfest, Rock Camp 4 Girls , reframe, Cultivate & Dragon Boat Festival is due to the work of Malcolm and Ryan who love their community and give back as much as they can ! The festival in it's 30th year is it in it's strongest position ever as we continue to grow ! Thank you Malcolm & Ryan !
@donovanwoods performs Friday August 16th @market_hall_pac as part of our 30th anniversary ! Tickets on sale Thursday at 10am!
