Saturday Night at the Legion with Hit Piece
You might want to squeeze in a power-nap, because we're in for an epic Saturday night party at The Legion during this year's festival!
Our old friend Jodee Richardson (Thomas Trio and the Red Albino, Fur Packed Action, Pathological Lovers, the greatest karaoke ever at Galliott Studios…) is returning to Woody Point, fronting a new collective, HIT PIECE.
Peter Mansbridge and Rick Mercer
So this year, we found ourselves looking for a guest interviewer.
Who was out there who would be comfortable behind a microphone, asking questions of one of our authors? And was there any chance that the interviewer could also be an interviewee, someone with their own interesting story to tell? But who might interview them?
Next up in our announcements for this year's festival line-up are Waubgeshig Rice, Donna Morrissey, and Looking Glass Ensemble!
