With the weather warming up, Saskatoon-area summer festivals are starting to kick things into high gear with some big announcements!

The Sasktel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival announced their full lineup and schedule on Friday, with additions such as Lee Fields, Michael Franti & Spearhead and John Scofield. There will once again be shows going on at a variety of locations around central Saskatoon, as well as free shows at Club Jazz in Friendship Park and on 21st Street. You can check out who is playing where and when by checking out the Jazz Fest website. CFCR is very proud to be presenting the festival's Groove Series, as well as the Ziggy Marley's main stage show on Saturday, June 23rd in the Bessborough Gardens!

 

And this morning on The Ness Creek Radio Revue (the 10-11am hour of the first Tuesday So Many Roads of every month), many of the artists playing this year's festival were highlighted, including recent Juno-winners Elliott Brood, Petunia & The Vipers, The Midnight Roses and lots more. You can visit Ness Creek's website for a more complete list of bands. Once again, CFCR is excited to be presenting the Friday night lineup on the main stage at Ness, so stay tuned to 90.5FM and CFCR.ca for more details on that soon!
