What a finale! The Amphitheatre filled with voices rising together for two beloved songs — Stan Rogers’ Mary Ellen Carter and the timeless Goodnight Irene. 🎶✨
It wasn’t just a singalong, but a heartfelt goodbye, a celebration of community, and a promise to rise again.
As the last notes echoed, piper Grier Coppins led the procession to the Down by the Bay tent, where the Farewell Party carried on the spirit of Summerfolk with one final song and countless memories.* 💙

Visionary. Uncompromising. Ever evolving. ✨
Jane Siberry remains one of Canada’s most original and influential singer-songwriters.
From Calling All Angels to Love Is Everything and Mimi On The Beach, her music has long existed in a world entirely of its own — intimate, fearless, and impossible to categorize.
Her haunting song It Won’t Rain All The Time from The Crow soundtrack still resonates deeply more than 30 years later.
Beyond the music itself, Siberry has continually reimagined what it means to be an independent artist. From pioneering “pay what you can” music downloads to performing intimate salon concerts in homes and unexpected spaces around the world, her work is rooted in connection, trust, and creative freedom.
As she puts it:
“I feel like I’m inching my way toward my prime.”
