What the press
says: |

Mellow out in the Distillery
district, where some of the city's finest folk, country and roots performers
will serenade you in the sunshine, all for free (or perhaps some spare
change)...
City Roots makes getting through the weekend a tiny bit easier
...
eye weekly
City Roots is as remarkable for the diversity of its performers as the
novelty of its Distillery District setting.... Toronto Life
.. a program that
both convincingly addresses the multicultural nature of this city and its
many quirky appetites, and embraces its idiosyncratic musical past,
present
and likely future.... Toronto Star
Tunes on tap at
the Distillery District. City Roots isn’t your father’s folk festival. It’s
a three day event showcasing a variety of musical styles.
Best of all you don’t have to drive for hours to get there… Globe and Mail
A festival that
will surprise those who write off folkish fests
as old and stodgy...Now
