A musician slated to perform at the Folk on the Rocks music festival in Yellowknife has been removed from the lineup over allegations of sexual violence, according to a festival official. The artist in question says the process lacks transparency, and that he ll take action to restore his professional and personal reputation.
In a statement on its website Monday, festival organizers said they had cancelled the appearance by Eugene Boulanger, an artist from Tulita, N.W.T., who goes by the stage name Young Dene.
