Mariposa Folk
Festival announced six artists today that will be performing at the
storied summer festival. This was the second in a string of artistic
announcements anticipated over the coming months as the full roster
comes together. The artists announced today are some of the most
exciting young acts on the buzzing folk-roots scene.
“These
performers are emblematic of the vibrant folk-roots music today, and
they are a good indication of the kind of energy people can expect at Mariposa this year”, said Mike Hill, Artistic Director.
Mariposa Folk Festival takes place in Orillia, Ontario, Canada, July 6-8, 2012. Tickets are on sale at
www.mariposafolk.com.
Oh Susanna In
a career spanning just over a decade, Oh Susanna has released six
critically acclaimed records noted for their contemplative, thoughtful,
folk-inspired songs. Whether applauding a young woman’s need to stand
tall in the face of dire
circumstances, expressing love and tenderness to a dying loved one or
embodying the anger of a soldier’s widow, Oh Susanna’s songs aim
straight for the gut. On her most recent record, Soon The Birds, Oh
Susanna brings her breathtakingly effortless countrified alto into the
foreground with a collection of haunting songs that shine light into the
darker areas of the human experience. Hey Ocean A
young band with an extraordinary talent for blending various musical
styles into their own unique brand of pop, together the three
mischievous personalities of Hey Ocean form a dynamic live presence. In
2008, they unveiled their first album, It’s Easier To Be Somebody Else. A
fusion of funky party-pop and lyric-driven ballads, the album garnered
significant acclaim and attention. As leaders in the D.I.Y. generation,
the band released its sophomore album on its very own label
called Pop Machine. Hey Ocean is building on its early success with more
music, more tours and as many festivals and outdoor events as possible. Good Old War Over
the past three years, the indie-folk trio Good Old War – whose name is
an amalgam of the band members’ names - has captivated audiences with
their acoustic-driven, sing-along-inspiring live performances. With the
release of their third full-length record, Come Back as Rain (2012),
this Philadelphia-based band harnesses a high-spirited simplicity that
makes their shows so unforgettable. Like Only Way To Be Alone (2008) and
Good Old War (self titled - 2010), the new album showcases the
delicately textured melodies and multipart harmonies that have become
the band’s signature. With a penchant for infectious folk-pop, the group
infuses their sound with joyful passion that makes their live
performances delightful
and inspiring. Treasa Lavasseur Funny
and ballsy, Treasa Lavasseur is an old-school young dame with a big
voice, big sound, and a big brand-new record bearing the deliciously
provocative title of Broad. About herself and the album name, she says,
“If I were a Hepburn, I’d be Katherine, not Audrey”. When Lavasseur
burst on to the scene in 2006, she immediately established herself as a
versatile artist with an unmistakable voice, a sassy attitude, and
smarts to spare. No shrinking violet, she’s a garden in full bloom –
colourful, varied, beautiful, full of life, and above all, one of a
kind. She’s a terrific broad, and we think you’ll love her. Meaghan Blanchard East
Coast Music Award winner (Country Album of the Year, 2011), Meaghan
Blanchard is
making big waves. Starting with performances at school, church and
community benefits, she moved on to all ages shows and coffee houses,
then to concert venues and bars, fine tuning her impressive song writing
and playing at every stop along the way. Recently, Meaghan has spent
time in Nashville showcasing, co-writing and making friends. With a
powerful but controlled voice, she sings her material with total
commitment and a maturity beyond her years, giving her songs the power
to connect with listeners of all ages. Aaron Mangoff Appearing for the first time at the Festival, as a participant in the Mariposa-sponsored songwriters club, this performer is no stranger to Mariposa
Folk Foundation. Aaron’s songs and performances are both passionate and
haunting, with acoustic guitar that complements impressive vocals. The
result is a truly authentic musical experience. His voice ranges
from subtle and wispy to rich and booming, and his intimate songs
resonate strongly with audiences. Aaron’s music ranges from metal to
rock to acoustic folk, an apropos mix considering his young age and wide
view of the world. We think you will be drawn-in and intrigued when
Aaron hits the stage.
