Mulligan Stew July 20th 2024- Summer Stews – Guests are Artistic Directors Terry Wickham (EFMF) and Jenna Klein Waller (Canmore)

The last two festival directors join us on The Summer Stew –

Terry Wickham – Edmonton Aug 8-11

Many years later the musical leader at  Edmonton Folk Festival.

As you know, he’s a natural storyteller and this year he’s telling stories of the growing indigenous component of the festival. Also how it all started to grow within the fest, it involves the Chieftains.

Terry talks about how he discovers artists, why certain artists strike a chord in him and how he had to keep a headliner booking secret for 7 months.

The complete interview can be heard on the Mulligan Stew Podcast and the video on the terrydavidmulligan YouTube Channel.

It’s year one for Jenna.  She has stayed in touch with the other artistic directors. Learning even more as she went. The one thing the festival wanted to focus on was finding a younger audience.

Jenna talks about the artists that her younger audience wants to see and hear.
