Warm songs, winter air, and music that brings everyone together.

Backyard Sessions – Frost & Folk brings a softer, soulful side of the winter festival experience to Red Bird Brewing.

Michael Bernard Fitzgerald headlines the evening with his deeply connective songwriting and signature warmth.

Direct support comes from Honeybear, the Band, a Vancouver-based quartet delivering vintage soul, blues, and roots with grit and heart. Formed by longtime friends, Honeybear blends old-school grooves with modern energy, drawing comparisons to classic American blues legends. Their debut album has earned millions of streams and critical acclaim, and their live shows have quickly made them festival favourites across Canada.
