Winter Roots Roundup

A multi-faceted annual Edmonton festival, presented by the University of Alberta Sound Studies Initiative and the Moses and Frances Asch Collection.

Since 2009, the Winter Roots Roundup has celebrated the best in folk, roots, and blues music in an Edmonton-based festival format produced in conjunction with UAlberta’s Sound Studies Initiative and the Moses and Frances Asch Collection. Our mandate is to honour the work and philosophy of Folkways Records founder Moses Asch, whose life was shaped by an unshakeable belief in the power of “anything that is sound.”
