About Edmonton Folks:
\nThe Edmonton Folks albums are collaborative projects featuring musicians from the Edmonton community. Their purpose is fourfold:

To promote Edmonton musicians to a wider audience they might not otherwise reach.

To provide additional merchandise for artists to sell. Each participating artist will purchase their own copies of the album at the manufacturer’s price, sell them at their shows, and keep any profits.

To foster connections within the local music scene and encourage future collaboration.

To celebrate the project with an album release show, which will also serve as a fundraiser for our beloved CKUA.

Recording will begin in early 2027 and release will take place in Spring of 2027.
