67th Annual

Miramichi Folksong Festival

Come one, come all to Canada's Longest Running Folk
Festival, the Miramichi Folksong Festival, celebrating songs
and culture of the Miramichi, and the very best in hospitality.
We have something for everyone, from our opening on
Thursday, August 1st with the Downeast Entertainers, to
our New Brunswick Day Breakfast featuring Moncton's
Dahlia Ave.
We feature local and New Brunswick musicians and
singers, including this year's featured guest David Myles
Sunday August 4th, don't miss David Myles in Concert with
Miramichi Songwriters, featuring Terry Whalen (ECMA
nominee), Jason Barry (Canadian Music Hall of Fame),
Emily Williamson, and Wade Hallihan.
With two Junos to his credit, David Myles has established
himself as a world-class entertainer with an uncanny knack
for dispersing profound truths about the human condition
through dynamic songwriting. Born and based in New
Brunswick, he's a sonic shapeshifter with more than 15
albums that run the gamut—in English and French—through
classic folk traditions, impassioned rock 'n' roll, earthy,
existential blues, cosmic jazz and funk instrumentals,
reflective Americana, and sweltering R&B.
Mike Bravener, who has been singing our Miramichi
Songs will be having a CD release on Friday night of the
festival, August 2nd.
French culture will be well represented by Roger
Lanteigne as well as Beau, and our returning and now
