Americana has a northern cousin: Canadiana. Indie folk artist Abigail Lapell embodies it, with her haunting voice floating over her own piano and fingerpicked acoustic guitar. This is the sound of the glaciers slowly moving across the surface of Alberta; of the gently loping caribou of the Shield; of the life-giving summer winds blowing in off the Great Lakes. Non-Michigan artists at the Gathering are chosen very carefully, and Abigail is special. Third album, Getaway, now available from Coax Records. Also available: Great Survivor (2011) and Hide Nor Hair (2017,winner of the Canadian Folk Music Award - Contemporary Album of the Year).
