On Friday and Sunday Ann Ross and Doug McGregor will be hosting Local Roots.  Ann says the first performance is Friday at 7 and she and Doug are going to do a small tribute to Mitch Podolak who was the founder of the Winnipeg Folk Festival and Home Routes and he passed away about a month or so ago.  She says then they’ll feature Kevin Allen with Meghan Reimer, Harold Romo, Holly and Lyle, Colin Davis, Ron Burwash, Syd Tippit, Murray MacDonald, Jake and Frieda Reimer and Dave Clement.

Ross adds Sunday at 2 she and Doug will again open the show and they will feature some of the same and some new performers.  Local Roots takes place at their residence at 183 Merton Boulevard and Ann notes it’s a come and go gathering so you can take in other events as well.
