Winnipeg Folk Festival, and then westward!
I fly to Winnipeg early tomorrow morning, and set up camp at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. I’m showcasing and being mentored (by John K. Samson, no less!) as part of their Young Performer’s Program. I’m there for five days (camping!).
Originally, after this, I was going to fly back to Toronto, but I made a last-minute decision to change my flight to go to Vancouver instead. I’m planning on taking the long way home, backpacking and eventually ending up back in Ontario via who-knows-where. I have some friends and family in western canada, I have little money, and I have an open mind. I’m going to try to make some money while I’m out there (I play music! I brought chapbooks and buttons to sell! I can do lots of other things too!), to aid in my journey and my trip home. I’m betting on serendipity.
If you are reading this and know someone who might like to host me in my journey (anywhere between Vancouver and Toronto, I may go further north to Dawson City or further south to California), someone who might like to host a house concert or organize a concert elsewhere, good places to play, good places to make some money, or just neat places I should really check out… please send along a note, if anything comes to mind!
Summary: if you know someone I should be in touch with or a piano I should play, now is the time to tell me.
I greatly appreciate the assistance!
In addition, send your address if you would like to perhaps receive postcards/letters.
