The Calgary Folk Music Festival’s annual Block Heater will become a virtual event for the first time, but still feature an eclectic lineup of indie artists from Calgary and other parts of Canada, America, Mexico and even a spotlight on Irish performers.
Now in its sixth year, the festival will run from Feb. 16 to 20 on “two digital stages.” The main stage will be on the Zoom platform and mix live and pre-recorded performances with pay-what-you-can access. The Festival Hall stage will be free and feature Calgary artists streamed live from the folk fest’s Inglewood-based headquarters.
