My Saturday #Stanfest workshop slate ends with a great double bill of London, Ont.'s The Pairs and Nova Scotia's own Mama's Broke, at a new fest venue, the #Canso Firehall which, true to its name, turned out to be one of the hottest stages of the weekend.

My fave #Stanfest discovery this weekend hails from Chiapas via Toronto; Quique Escamilla blending Mexican folk, rock & ska, doing the impossible feat of getting me on the #Canso arena dancefloor at 11 a.m. Don't miss him when he plays near you!
