STEWED ROOTS at the OTTAWA FOLK FESTIVAL!!!

The Ottawa Folk Festival was a fantastic experience for us! Winners of the 2009 ONE FRET LESS Award, we were very honoured and thrilled to be a part of this festival, nominated the Best Folk Fest in North America!

Each year, the Ottawa Folk Festival presents the Helen Verger Award to an individual who has made significant, sustained contributions to folk/roots music in Canada. This year’s recipient, was our producer Paul Mills, who has been an integral part of the Canadian folk music scene for more than thirty years. Way to go Paul!! We're glad you quit your day job!!

Stewed Roots thanks go far, but especially to Lane- artist liason extraordinaire, Dave- sound engineer with the golden touch, Dave-our roadie and sincere supporter, Harvey and Louise Glatt-generous donors of our One Fret Less Award, the Good Lovelies who were kind enough to include us on their stage, all of our stage buddies who welcomed us openly & all the volunteers who fed us, cleaned up after us, and cared for our instruments.
Stewed Roots is 'over the moon' with all the audience support, new friends and fantastic experiences from this weekend. 'The best songwriting I've heard in a long time' - Bryan Bowers, autoharp master extraordinaire. CHEERS OTTAWA!!

Unassuming Indies Impress

Canadian:
Stewed Roots --- "In the Middle of This" --- songs like "I Don't Think About Him Much," "Pretension Rag," and "The Fisher and Me" offer simple but affecting homespun tales -- memorable story songs that you readily want to rehear.

"I get a great charge out of performances in a venue that doesn't involve shoving a lot of Alcohol to people who are there for ROMANCE or GRUB...you seem to have the pulse of Canadians in your music. I cant define it as Country Folk or Celtic its sort of like a CAR BLANKET warm and cozy. I think that's a GOOD analogy, one I would wrap around me on a cold drive to North Bay, or Yesterday- Home to Hamilton.Your everything the CBC was built to broadcast, hold them to it! " Glenn, at 'sessions at 73'

Stewed Roots loved the Moonshine Cafe. what a great little venue, tucked away in the "new" downtown area. The owners, John and Jane have created a lovely oasis for folk/indie musicians, with a cozy decor of relaxed couches and blankets, with photographs lining the walls. Ahhh! We hope to be back, so see you there next time! http://www.themoonshinecafe.com/

Here's a few quotes from a CD review from Belgium by the folk at ROOTSTIME. I found a free online translator and here are some quotes, in its quaint, literal form: 'refresh as a sea where the songs concerning each other tumbles as the waves on the Irish coasts, none the same but all propelled by the same strength, these of the sound in ebb and rising tide. Playfulness, irony, melancholia, poetry, fight all for primacy.'
Thanks Marcie!! You get it!!
