I live in an apartment right across the street from Churchill Square in downtown Edmonton. In the summer time Churchill is a cultural center for our city that revolves, although not solely, around music. At noon on weekdays there’s Brian Gregg, who rocks out on the corner, busking for the lunch crowd, and at night and on weekends I get to listen to the sounds of the many talented singers, songwriters and musicians from Edmonton and abroad. It’s like a music festival that starts in spring and goes until the leaves start falling off the trees and runs the gamut of every possible music style from Folk to Country to Rock to World Beat and I have a front row seat to it all. The level of talent is simply breathtaking and it’s absolutely free to anyone who wants to listen. Right now there’s a Celtic band rocking out and people are dancing all over the square. Think I’ll go check ‘em out.
