Fest News: Wintersong sounds out over Stouffville

By Will McGuirk

You may need hats, just saying.

Wintersong, the Stouffville and environs based festival features the Men Without Hats, along with headliners, Stars, Dan Mangan, and Ombiigizi, and Kiwi Jr. Over two days, Jan 20/21 2023 over 50 acts in multiple venues and outdoor locations. Thats some feat for the organisers but these organisers had been involved in the Guinness World Record for longest Concert so easy peasy yah.

Great line-up of locals too, and its such a lovely downtown too, historic, and walkable, and last time I was there, for the record breaking event, such kindness shown. And just on the border of both Toronto and Durham Region so all roads etc.

Is this the first? A music festival? Just over the border of Durham Region, in the, I do have to say, lovely town of Stouffville Wintersong takes place Mar 25 and 26. The festival features Charles Spearin of Broken Social Scene and Stephen Stanley, formerly of Lowest of the Low, as well as Bif Naked, and The Darcys, in almost a dozen venues throughout the downtown.

There are several Durham Region artists performing, among them 2020 OMA winners Hollow Sage and the Three Mile Islanders, and Tania Joy, plus Cassie Noble, Chalk Lake, EDITH, Hunter Sheridan, and Matt Gunn. Mattie Leon as well as Jitensha, both acts are friends of Slowcity.ca are also performing.

The festival is organised by the good folks at Epidemic Music Group, whom you may recall were behind the Guinness Book of Records Longest Concert by Multiple Artists attempt.
