Along with the investment in household names, this edition of the Islands Folk Festival is proud to break new talent and emerging artists such as Becky Prokova from Victoria whose new album, “Uncover,” is earning rave reviews and Shawna Caspi, from Toronto, who is a songwriting and guitar playing virtuoso. “We have many great artists that are new to us or that we haven’t seen for a while” says Connolly, “I’m particularly looking forward to seeing Ndidi O who is, by all accounts, a musical force to behold and Art Napoleon who always gets people right in the heart.”
