Reviews of Folk Singers available in Alberta, Canada

5/5 from 449 reviews
Photo of Mark Hildebrand Mark Hildebrand "It was treat to see Mark perform at the Sumner festival I attended. He is clearly dedicated to his craft and his hard work shows through in his skill. His guitar playing in particular is second to none. I also thoroughly enjoyed his honest and inclusive approach to other performers. His great talent and lack of ego are utterly refreshing." Based in Langley, British Columbia Janice R - Summer music festival Photo of Madame Mackintosh Madame Mackintosh "As Madame Mackintosh began to sing the couple's first dance song, it was as if the entire room held its breath, captivated by the depth of her voice. Her setlist, a thoughtful blend of original songs and beautifully reimagined covers, enriched the atmosphere and brought an emotional dimension to the celebration. Drawing from genres as diverse as pop, rock, country and traditional wedding music, her repertoire showcased not only her versatility but her keep ability to capture the spirit of the moment. The Madame's voice ranged from a soft velvety croon to a powerful , resonant anthem, filling the room with palpable energy. She effortlessly expressed the love and joy radiating from the bride and groom. Whether performing heartfelt ballads or upbeat dance numbers, she imbued each song with a warmth and authenticity that resonated with everyone in attendance. What truly set her apart was her adaptability. Unlike DJs confined to their pre-selected playlists, the Madame embraced spontaneity, taking requests from guests and even offering inspired suggestions that added personal and unexpected touches to the evening. Madame Mackintosh didn't just perform; she became part of the celebration's heartbeat, leaving everyone in awe of her artistry."

Based in Ottawa, Ontario Eddie Birkett - bookmyact.com Photo of BOBBY FIVE BOBBY FIVE "This guy is a true professional his songs are amazing He is a very fun music act I have booked him at several events all over the Nashville area and in different parts of the country. His Nashville recorded albums are as good as anybody's out there. His music is being played on radio stations across the country." Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States Amy - Nashville booking agent Photo of Adam Karch Adam Karch "I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Everything Can Change, from Adam Karch and it's an interesting mix of acoustic and electric fused folk/blues music with solid vocals. Opening with It's Your Song, a contemporary, radio style track with a solid melody and clean acoustic guitar work, Adam Karch shows his stuff on vocal and guitar, backed by Richard Deschenes on bass and Marc-Andre Drouin on drums. JJ Cale's classic, After Midnight gets a substantial rework and I like it. Starting with acoustic slide and fine finger picking, Karch's stylistic vocal phrasing really changes the track and it's as cool as the original. Very nice. Porch Groove (Sunday Morning) is a real relaxing meandering melody on acoustic guitar. Very nice. Another nice cover is Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's Alright. Karch has one of those voices that is warm and refreshing and his picking style is clean and concise. Very nice. Wrapping the release is another Porch Groove (Saturday Evening) with a more contemporary finger picked melody. Karch is a talented musician and vocalist who has put together a real nice release."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring folk singers is $480, with prices from $150 to $1,600+. Pricing depends on the singer's experience, performance duration and whether they perform with a guitar, other instruments or backing tracks. Folk singers suit a range of settings from intimate acoustic performances to larger outdoor events.

Singalong choruses are part of the tradition and many performers use them deliberately, choosing songs a room can pick up inside a verse. How far it goes depends on the crowd and the point in the evening, and a good performer reads that rather than forcing it. Events wanting a quieter listening set should say so, as the same singer can do either.

Hiring folk singers is ideal for weddings, pub and bar events, festivals, private parties, corporate dinners and intimate gatherings. The acoustic, storytelling style of folk music creates a warm, personal atmosphere that suits a wide range of settings.

For small, intimate venues, many folk singers can perform without amplification. For larger spaces or outdoor events, a small PA system is usually needed. Most folk singers bring their own amplification equipment. It is worth confirming the setup with the singer based on the venue.

Many are writers as well as performers and will mix their own songs with traditional material and familiar covers. The balance is usually the booker's choice and most are happy to lean either way. For an event where guests should recognise what they hear, say so, because a set of entirely new songs makes for a different evening.

Many folk singers offer flexible performance options, from solo acoustic sets to performances with additional musicians such as a guitarist, fiddle player or small ensemble. It is worth discussing line-up options with the singer when requesting a quote.

A live folk musician working a pub or bar usually plays two or three shorter sets across an evening rather than one continuous performance, with an audience that comes and goes. The setup is lighter, since there is rarely a stage and the corner of a room is the normal spot. Rates for this work differ from function bookings, so it is worth saying which kind of event it is when enquiring.

The folk singers in Alberta, Canada perform traditional folk, contemporary folk, Celtic, acoustic singer-songwriter material and folk-influenced popular music. Many folk singers accompany themselves on guitar, banjo or other acoustic instruments.
