A Blazing Gurf- Gurf Morlix & Blaze Foley: Duct Tape Messiah– The Hideout, Red Deer June 12, 2011 A sixty-minute film to sum up a life is more than most of us will get, but it seems a bit inadequate for a life that was as obviously full as that lived by Blaze Foley. Complemented…

Gurf Morlix- Live in Red Deer

I don’t normally cut & paste press releases at Fervor Coulee. I try to post only when I have something semi-coherent to share (Like, the new Tommy Shaw album absolutely rocks), but will make an exception- Gurf brings Blaze to Red Deer in June: you read it here first…if you didn’t see it somewhere else already. Gurf Morlix…

John Stewart- The Day…

However, since the column was submitted, a couple interesting shows have been added to the local roots music calendar. This coming Friday, Dec. 18, a fundraiser for a few…

Edmonton Folk Music Festival, August 8

This past Saturday, I took the highway north to take in my (almost) annual day at the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. As I’ve detailed elsewhere, I find it difficult to do more than a day at any music fest although there was a time when I could do three days in Calgary, three at Stony…
