The passionate Polaris peeps picked a pile of perfect performers!
Out of the 40 that made it on the Long List, two will grace the stage in Victoria Park this summer. Even more on the list have done so before. We have a few things in common I'd say - RFF & Polaris, like two peas in a pod.
Ghostkeeper and Justin Rutledge are honoured for their recent releases, Ghostkeeper and The Early Widows respectively.
Past RFF performers that also made the list are: Owen Pallet, The Sadies, Tegan & Sara, Hawksley Workman, Broken Social Scene and Basia Bulat.
Check polarismusicprize.ca to see the other 32 bands. You may want to hear 'em. I'd bet on it.
