Last but certainly not least in this year's #MarvestatCityFolk Virtual Edition, we are featuring The North Woods! Marvest goes a bit country with a compelling performance by the North Woods, Ottawa’s rock-folk-country quartet comprised of Dave Morrow, Sunil Achia and Shelley Worsley. Blending folk with alt-country and dusty rock draws out a unique sound that is hard to ignore. Not quite country, not full rock and a bit deeper than folk, the North Woods have a truly unique sound.
