MUSIC
Stan Rogers Folk Festival
This year’s Nova Scotia annual party doesn’t coincide with Canada Day, but it’s close enough. And while it may or may not be true that East Coasters hold folk music tighter to their particular proud-and-true culture than the rest of the country does (Quebeckers would, and should, disagree), their passion for it is colossal. Named for the late, great troubadour, the festival presents Alan Doyle, Dave Gunning, Eric Bibb, Ani DiFranco, Joel Plaskett and others, along with Garnet Rogers and Nathan Rogers, brother and son to Stan, respectively. Something about legacy. (July 4-July 6, Canso, N.S.) Brad WheelerPATRICK DOYLE/The Canadian Press
