Two Summer Festivals in a Row!

Stella Swanson & the Rosie Joyfuls are thrilled to be playing two great festivals in a row this summer!

We first hit the stage in Duncan, BC for the Islands Folk Festival! We’re on the MainStage at 10:00 am on Saturday, July 27th and we hope to see lots of old and new friends in the audience!

The following weekend we will be back at home for The Filberg Festival on Saturday, August 3rd at 2:00 pm on the Garden Stage. The Garden stage is very special to us and this is the third time we will be performing at the Filberg Festival so we feel very fortunate! Hope to see you there!

Pants on Backwards nominated for CFMA!

September 21st, 2017, Stella Swanson and the Rosie Joyfuls received their second nomination from the Canadian Folk Music Awards!  We are so grateful to receive this nomination and could not be happier for the legendary Fred Penner who ended up winning ‘Children’s Album of the Year,’ in our category.  Thanks to everyone who contributed to this nomination; we truly are grateful!


‘Pants on Backwards’ receives a BreakOut West Nomination!

 

We could not be more thrilled to announce that we’ve been nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award for ‘Children’s Artist of the Year!  We are in such good company and we wish all of our fellow nominees well.  Especially Ginalina and Madame Diva, who we met in Edmonton last year at the CFMAs.

Thank you so much to BreakOut West for the nomination.  We are thrilled that you enjoy our music!!!

Filberg Festival, Here we come!

We are thrilled to be returning to the Garden Stage to play the Filberg Festival in August!  One of our most memorable concerts of the ‘I’m Not a Bunny,’ tour was playing at the Filberg Festival in 2015 and we’re very excited to include songs from our second album, ‘Pants on Backwards,’ during our set this summer.

Please mark it on your calendars!  Saturday, August 5th, 2017, 1:30-2:30 pm at the Garden Stage. ( See the full line up of Filberg Performers here. )

What a nice surprise!

This morning we were surfing the web together to see when the applications for the 2017 Canadian Folk Music Awards were open and we saw a photo of our performance in Edmonton on their home page!  Thank you, CFMAs!  What a lovely surprise!!!  Visiting Edmonton for the 2015 CFMAs was one of the highlights of our year and we are so grateful to have so many great memories of our experience.
