Sunfest Country Music Festival, BC, Canada

Many moons ago I lived in Vancouver, BC for a year and spent my spare time volunteering at CiTR, the radio station of the University of British Columbia. There, I discovered the rich and varied Canadian indie music scene. More generally, I came to appreciate the passion Canadians have for their culture, and the skills that were on display in their storytelling and music.

While the Sunfest Country Music Festival in Cowichan, BC, on Vancouver Island will not feature only Canadian artists, there's a few worth checking out from 30 July to 2 August.
