How to Get A Winterfolk XI Gig
This year, Winterfolk will hire about 150 artists. The artistic selection process will be similar to previous years, and below is a description of how we select our artists.
What Winterfolk brings to our Artists
We supply an audience – Great to break in new territory!
Typically, we try to offer artists 2 – 3 paid performance opportunities during the Winterfolk weekend.
Looking For Some Good Volunteers
We welcome your application. Join with other members of the commuity to help us make a difference. Though our annual showcase event is the Winterfolk festival in February, our work is ongoing. We appreciate the help of good volunteers year round.
Purchase A Better World CD’s
We produce one or two albums per year on topics of social conscious, comprised of tracks selected from artists' submissions from all over the world.
All of our albums have received worldwide radio play, generated positive press, and made a difference in the world.
We put artists in touch with issues, and connect their words to the world.
Proceeds from CD sales on most titles are sent to various charities such as Earth Day Canada, and more.

 If you enjoy the music, then help to support the festival.
It’s a simple formula. If you enjoy the music, then help to support the festival. Your support of Winterfolk will help us to continue to present quality roots and blues music on an ongoing basis, and as well provide paid performance opportunities for artists. The majority of our budget goes to performing artists, most of whom are local talent. You donation goes directly into the roots community and for the enrichment of the art form for all to enjoy.
