The award winning folk duo Karla Adolphe and Caleb Friesen, hailing from Winnipeg, Canada will fire up the stage with an energy and color rarely heard in the folk scene. More like a rocket ride through the countryside than an afternoon stroll in the garden, Jacob and Lily need a stage as big as Worship@8500 just to get started.
In just two short years Jacob and Lily have played over 300 shows and performed at some of Canada’s most prestigious festivals including: The Winnipeg Folk Festival, Blue Skies Festival, Trout Forest Music Festival, BarrieFolk, an official showcase at the 2007 NXNE festival, MARIA Manitoba Music Showcases at the 2006/2007 OCFF, Creston Valley Music Fest, Gateway Festival, Great Woods Music Festival, Harvest Sun Music Festival, Winnipeg Fringe Festival, Fallout Artfest in Minneapolis, The Harvest Moon Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival Lunchour Series, SNACC Music in the Ruins Series, and the Winnipeg Folk Festival Young Performers Showcase.
Jacob and Lily’s debut album, The Cathedral, was nominated for the 2007 Canadian Folk Music Awards Best New/Emerging Act. Jacob and Lily were selected as one of 5 Co-Winners at the 2008 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest, and were also selected to perform live on the internationally broadcast Mountain Stage radio/television show.
You are invited to join the folks at Enter the Worship Circle for an incredible weekend of encouragement, equipping, worship and friendship building! This is our second annual Worship@8500 gathering, but this year it lasts for three days! Won’t you make plans to join us?
