On Sept. 12-13, Evanston Folk Festival returned to Dawes Park, just outside Chicago. The third annual gathering, featuring artists and purveyors of the folk music tradition, brought more than 30 performers across three stages over two days. In total, over 12,000 spectators attended the multi-day series that spotlights songs, stories, and select acts.
Saturday’s schedule brought out various artists, beginning with afternoon sets performed by pickers The Fretliners, Seattle-based trio The Brudi Brothers, guitarist Modu Moctar, in addition to the Windy City’s own Henhouse Prowlers featuring Don Stiernberg, and the effervescent sounds of Valerie June.
