Folk Alley Radio Show #250626
Our friends to the North are celebrating Canada Day on July 1—and here at Folk Alley, we’re joining the party with a tribute to the rich tradition of Canadian folk, roots, and Canadiana music. Tune in to hear timeless classics from legends like Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Ferron, Kate & Anna McGarrigle, Stan Rogers, and Ian & Sylvia—plus fresh favorites from William Prince, Morgan Toney, Rose Cousins, David Francey, Pharis & Jason Romero, and more.
Want more? We’ve cooked up a 6+ hour Oh, Canada playlist on our Holiday Music channel. Crack a Molson, dig into some poutine (or a smoked meat sandwich), and enjoy!
