Maria Dunn
A storyteller through song, Maria Dunn is an arrestingly powerful singer-songwriter. She combines North American folk and country music with the influences of her Celtic heritage. Born in Scotland and raised in Alberta, she writes songs inspired by historical and contemporary characters, capturing their struggles and triumphs in her lyrics. In 2002, Maria received a Juno Award nomination in the Roots/Traditional Solo category for her CD, For a Song. Her new project, We Were Good People, explores the stories of working people in western Canada—tales of resilience and hope. Expect a thought-provoking performance from Maria at Alberta Scene!
The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir
The Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir plays a ferocious combination of traditional blues, Appalachian folk and ragged gospel, captivating everyone from punk rock to folk music fans. Formed from the ashes of several divergent Calgary bands, the Agnostics feature Judd Palmer on vocals, banjo, and harmonica, Vladimir Sobolewski on stand-up bass, guitarist/vocalist Bob Keelaghan, and Jay Woolley on drums. The group claims they were "founded in an effort to forge a kind of gospel for the unbeliever." Their sound is reminiscent of the deep-south by way of Chicago, with no gimmicks to get in the way.
