Mariposa presents breakthrough group Spiral Beach and more.....

Eugene Ripper's Fast Folk Underground

ALL-AGES show at the Drake this Wednesday, May 17th

Eclectic road-show is returning, with Spiral Beach and Clare Love

Eugene Ripper's Fast Folk Underground has over the years built a reputation
for bringing superb edgy and/or emerging talent to the public. This time
out Ripper is featuring two youthful acts....

Spiral Beach ­ Having grown up in the exuberant chaos of the Canadian folk
music community, members - Daniel and Airick Woodhead, Maddy Wilde and
Dorian Thornton - spent their formative years hanging around backstage jams
at festivals across the country. As a group these young performers create
edgy and inventive pop music that draws inspiration from the Beatles,
Talking Heads and Radiohead. Their distinctive sound combines a strong
groove with clever harmonies. They have just released their self-titled CD
and are booked for the 2006 Mariposa Folk Festival in Orillia, July 7-8-9.
