George Hartlen, with Friends of Riding Mountain, is pretty excited at both the weather forecast and the weekend coming up. Having put together a very unique weekend of live music, speakers, outdoor hikes, an At The Farm Gate market with local produce and artisans, and many other things, Sonics & Sojourns rolls out again for another fall festival of learning and music. “We are offering some wonderful authors, access to local producers, and of course some innovative fall programming as usual. Our horse and wagon ride to the Whitewater Lake Prisoner of War Camp will take visitors into the heart of the wilderness. Yet, right here in Onanole, you can go the Saturday Farm Gate market, or Saturday night, you can take in Bog River.”
Bog River? (click on the link and have a listen to their music )
Yup. From the heart of the Canadian prairies, Bog River was first formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, when three young songwriters (Ben Hadaller, Carly Dow, Dave Barchyn) collaborated to create a new and passionate folk/bluegrass project. With a wide range of influences, each member has come together to provide a unique sound with haunting lyrics and harmonies, and diverse instrumentals (including guitars, banjo, fiddle, mandolin, harmonicas and dobro).
