Montreal Folk Fest
June 19, 2015
The Montreal Folk Festival just wrapped up its eighth edition, which included performances by the likes of Bruce Cockburn, Alex Cuba, Tom Rush, Basia Bulat, and The Echo Hunters. This year the festival’s outdoor grounds relocated to the spacious Esplanade du Centenaire, walking distance from the festival’s roots at the intimate Terrasse St-Ambroise.
Our photographer Vitor Munhoz was on hand to shoot the festival all week, including shows by Bruce Cockburn at Théatre Paradoxe, and the outdoor stages at Esplanade du Centenaire. Below are photos from the Friday shows. Our photos of the Alex Cuba and Tom Rush indoor shows are here.
