Our 2024 festival is proud to open with the celebration of a one-of-a-kind event, the Jack Pine Folk Club, a new addition that pays respect to the tradition of coffeehouses of the 60s, hosted by Music PEI Award Winner Shane Pendergast. This year joining Shane on stage will be CBC Poetry Prize winner Bren Simmers, former Saddle River String Band singer-songwriter Mike Dixon, award-winning author and spoken word poet Andre Fenton, and closing out the show will be touring recording artist Benj Rowland. This event promises to be the opening of a festival we could only dream of!
