*pimps*
This entry is purely for shameless pimping of an awesome event: the Gateway Music Festival in Bengough, Saskatchewan. From July 25-27, the tiny town of Bengough will play host to more than 20 performers, covering a variety of genres including country, blues, folk, rock, pop, ska, and many more. ----->Festival Homepage<----- Headline acts: Doc Walker and Shane Yellowbird
Yes, both the main headline acts are country, albeit new country. But hey, there's lots of other groups to see.
And come on, the town's population is under 400 people at last count. The fact this with be the fourth year the town has put this event on, with it getting bigger and better every year is amazing. The total attendence for the weekend last year was more than SIX TIMES the town's population!
Oh, and for anyone curious, here are links to both parts of the video montage I made of last year's Festival (sorry, crappy vid quality at some points, but the video was taken on small digital cameras. Linkage: part one part two
