Edmonton’s Maria Dunn draws deeply on the folk tradition of storytelling through song. Melding North American roots music with her Scottish-Irish heritage, she sings about the resilience and grace of “ordinary” people, past and present. She won the Juno in 2022 for Traditional Roots Album of the Year for Joyful Banner Blazing, a recording which celebrates resilience, grace, gratitude, solidarity, joy and the love that fires our actions to make the world a better place. Her 2017 album, Gathering, which was also nominated for a Juno, highlights positive stories of courage and activism, both local and global. In addition to her music, Maria has also developed and toured four multimedia people’s history shows. At the Nick, Maria will be accompanied by Shannon Johnson (violin, harmonies) and Jeremiah McDade (saxophone, whistle, flute, guitar, harmonies). They’ll be performing Maria’s thought-provoking, hope-mongering songs in rich and varied arrangements with superb vocals and musicianship for a compelling concert experience.
Watch the Maria Dunn Trio’s official video of the song Love Carries Me.
Magnolia Buckskin bring their years of friendship, humour and love of music to the stage, telling stories that evoke a panorama of human experiences. Kathy Cook, Natasha Sayer and Corry Ulan draw upon their prairie roots, delivering a blend of indie bluegrass, folk, and acoustic pop music on guitar, banjo, mandolin, accordion and bass. The three songwriters back each other up with arrangements that are both refreshing and poignant. The title of their 2024 recording, In the Round, is a nod to folk festival workshops (aka songwriters’ rounds), where musicians take turns presenting their songs. The Calgary Herald said the album “has a warm, sitting-around-the-campfire feel that seems appropriate for the act’s folksy musings on topics that are both fun and weighty.”
Check out their sampler video to hear their beautiful three-part harmonies on full display.
