Day at CityFolk 2019

Their 2019 album Le Mal is nominated for the annual Canadian music prize. Watch tonight as FET.NAT performs in the Gala lineup. A live stream starts at 8:45pm on CBC Music.

We connected with guitarist Steve Mazur on how things have been going with the band of late.

Just as the festival was hitting its stride, it’s already coming to an end, as the traditionally 5-day festival was shortened by a day for 2019.

Day 2 at CityFolk 2019

With Friday’s incredible triple-header rock bill behind us, it’s back to the eclectic mix that CityFolk is well known for. Folk? Check. R&B? Check. Indigenous hip-hop? Yup, check too.

Catch Dear Rouge early Friday evening as they hit the City Stage at 5:45PM.

As we did with Bluesfest this summer, Apt613 will have you covered with daily preview articles, including highlights and interviews with some of the artists about to hit the stage.

We caught up with keyboardist and former Carleton University student Dave Ritter.

Day 1 features The Strumbellas, Lucinda Williams, Orville Peck, Dwayne Gretzky, Larkin Poe and The Once.

Welcome to another beautiful weekend in the city. Straddled on the cusp of summer meets fall, the mornings are crisp and cool, but the afternoons still bring warmth and sunshine. There is plenty to do around town this weekend and we here at Apt613 can’t wait to tell you about it.

Plumes will be launching their album Oh Orwell in Ottawa at Pressed on Saturday, September 14, with Daily Alice and Ronnie Slogan.

Fans of one of Canada’s most iconic singer-songwriters will soon have some opportunities to celebrate their folk hero.
