CANADIAN FOLK MUSIC IN THE U.S. CONCERT SCHEDULE

    Connie is just one of many performers who ventures across the border to offer their unique brand of music.  Even if it means playing a local church coffeehouse or community center, the talent they share often leaves American audiences with eyes widened and jaws dropped.

    Below is just a sampling of Canadian folk performers appearing in the U.S. through the end of August.  If you're nearby a show, swing on by and give it a shot!

    If there's any artist in particular you'd like to see on this list in the future, drop me a line and I'd be happy to accommodate.

    The appearances are listed alphabetically by state:
