CFCR's resident mobile phone shutter-bug Brendan Flaherty recaps his time at the 2017 Sled Island Music & Arts Festival in Calgary!
Not one to make the same mistake two years in a row, our Program Director Jay Allen made sure to start getting his Sled Island coverage in on schedule this time (instead of a year late). Check out the bands he got to see on the first couple days of the Festival in the first of a two-part series. We'll also be posting writing & photos from CFCR's Brendan Flaherty & Peter Grier this week, so keep checking back!

Well, it's almost time to tie a bow on and stick a fork in the year that was 2016. It is also that time when we, the musically-obsessed, start to reflect on what turned our collective crank, or floated our collective boat (musically speaking, of course) over the last 12 months.
OK, OK, it's been a minute (or several months) since our last "Get To Know A CFCR Volunteer." With a busy summer, and FM-Phasis in the fall, we just couldn't find the time.

Once again, we've got a bit of a bittersweet edition of "Get To Know A CFCR Volunteer" for you.
