Five artists you need to see at Squamish
by Stephen Smysnuik
Veteran festivalgoers know all about it: the best thing
about music festivals, aside from getting drunk in a field, is discovering artists you never even knew existed.
Yes, we'll all be heading to LIVE at Squamish to see the Tragically Hip and (for some of us, for some reason I'll never understand) City and Colour.
But these two acts are not what LIVE at Squamish is all about. There are dozens of great live acts on hand, many of which you've likely never heard of, and many may very well blow your mind.
Here are five acts that you should certainly make yourself available for this weekend:
