Founding Folks
An Oral History of the Winnipeg Folk Festival
Kevin Nikkel
Through interviews with staff, volunteers, and musicians like Bruce Cockburn and Tom Jackson, Nikkel tells the story of 50 years of the Winnipeg Folk Festival, how Mitch Podolak brought it into being, and how it has grown to become one of the most influential folk festivals in North America. Nikkel explores the relationships between politics and culture, and provides insight into the lifelong friendships that developed among some of folk music’s most defining figures.
