Folk

Canadian folk is some of the finest in the world—and it’s no wonder why. In a country as vast, diverse, and open-hearted as Canada, our music reflects the people who call it home. Rooted in tradition but unafraid to evolve, Canadian folk draws from a rich blend of cultures, histories, and voices. We’ve got fewer hang-ups and a whole lot of stories to tell. So hit play, sit back, and enjoy our fabulous folking culture—honest, heartfelt, and uniquely our own.
