Join us at Celtic Folk as we present a varied and lively musical journey emerging from family, roots, and numerous musical traditions - intertwined with Celtic influences.

Note: Alex is unable to join our show Saturday - we've lined up another fantastic Irish fiddler x2 / group.
Previous concerts sold out well beforehand so don't wait to get your tickets.
**Horizon Ridge
Horizon Ridge is a group of fine multi-instrumentalists and seasoned vocalists known for their intuitive, tight harmonies and polished a cappella singing. Helen and Steve Goodchild, Peter May and Dianne Quinton take musical inspiration from their roots and subsequent journeys near and far.
Horizon Ridge brings an engaging stage presence to performances. With influences spanning traditional and contemporary folk, country, blues, rock and gospel, the band is versatile and adventurous.
Their first CD, Enough is all you need, was released in July 2016. A mix of original and cover songs, it showcases the band's ability to move effortlessly between different musical styles and genres.
The band members, who are based in Calgary, Alberta, have played festivals, music clubs and concerts in Canada, the US and UK. They have also taught a range of musical workshops in individual and group settings.
**Get Reel
Hailing from the East Coast of De Winton and the North Shores of Calgary, our crew will explore a lively set of songs and tunes from the Maritimes, Folk and other Celtic traditions. Get Reel is Doug Wagner (vocals, bodhran, guitar and fiddle) and Greg Black (vocals, guitar, electric bass and octave mandolin).
When the fog is just right you can hear almost hear the waves, smell the ocean, and see the shipwrecks.
**Alex Kusturok Featuring Deanna Dolstra
Alex Kusturok is a third generation fiddle player whose passion for music became apparent early on. Alex followed his mother Patti to Old Time dances around Manitoba, where he was enriched with the Métis fiddle from a very young age. By the age of 7, fiddle became his primary focus.
Alex is in high demand as a performer, instructor and competition judge across Canada. Alexs blend of styles is greatly influenced by the Quebecois and Cape Breton fiddle styles; however, the Métis style remains at the forefront of his playing. He has released three albums Groove (2009), For Old Times Sake (2014), and Almost Live (2017).
Alex will be joined on stage by Deanna Dolstra.
