HOMETOWN SOULBROTHER #1 DONNY GERRARD TO APPEAR WITH MAVIS STAPLES AT VANCOUVER FOLK MUSIC FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND - JULY 17-19

The man who many regard as the most soulful singer to come outta Canada will be visiting his home town on Sunday, July 19th.   
As a three year veteran of the world-travelled MAVIS STAPLES  entourage, 
DONNY GERRARD  motor-vates in from the Soul Gospel queen's Saturday appearance at the Winthrop Washington Blues Festival to a Sunday nite performance at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival but then immediately heads out of Van-City the next morning.  Such is the life of a world renowned entertainer such as M. Staples.  Unfortunately for Vancouver-born Donny (he lives in LA) this allows only a quick visit with family and many close and well-loved friends.

As far as the more-than-three-decade-old music festival itself . . .
It looks like these are the VFMF musical acts that WAGRadio fans would dig;
Friday 17th /9:45pm - ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT
Saturday 18th /1:40pm - COREY HARRIS
Sunday 19th/9:15pm MAVIS STAPLES
