"B.C.’s premier winter music festival used to be the summery Prince George Folkfest, until organizers decided four years ago that cool tunes were better when the mercury drops. Now the soundchecks start when the snow piles deep, with a broad spectrum of musical styles: everything from roots to jazz. Previous performers have included Joel Plaskett and Great Lake Swimmers. This year’s lineup: Canadian, Polaris Top 10 rapper shad, Indie pop-folkies Basia Bhulat and Celtic partiers the Paperboys, among others. January 21 to 29 at various local venues."
