The Calgary Folk Music Festival is proud to present Martha Wainwright (@martha.wainwright) live and in person at The Gateway, November 18, 2021. The beguiling performer and songwriter returns with her brand new, 5th studio album, Love Will Be Reborn, which follows recent years of loneliness and clarity in search of optimism and joy. Wainwright's artistry embraces her wildness and sketches out her raw depth; an edge that makes her uncompromisingly herself and continues to mesmerize audiences two decades on. Tickets on sale one week from today, August 24th! 🎶
