Local singer/songwriter Catherine Taddo performed this past weekend at the 3-day "Live From the Rock" Folk Festival. The festival, which is located in the Township of Red Rock, Ontario (100 km east of Thunder Bay is an annual celebration of music and the arts held in Pull-a Log Park on the northern shore of Lake Superior. This year's festival also features Canadian folk legends Ian Tamblyn and Valdy, as well as up-and-comer, the Juno-nominated Pierre Schryer Band (also from Sault Ste. Marie). Taddo, who has released a 3 song EP, also took part in two songwriting workshops: "Women Who Write" and "Is That Suppose to Be a Love Song?" over the weekend. Taddo, who is being musically accompanied by Lindsay Pugh, has been receiving some airplay on Points North out of Sudbury. If you listen to CBC, and you'd like to hear Taddo, send an email to Dan Lessard at pointsnorth@sudbury.cbc.ca and let him know.
