Photos: Day 2 of the Vancouver Folk Music Festival

Steve Earle, an Australian ska act, and a Polaris-Prize nominated folk-rock duo were just some of the acts that wrapped up the second night of main-stage performances at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival Saturday (July 20)

Earle and his band The Dukes headlined the evening lineup, followed by the energetic Melbourne band The Cat Empire. Canadian duo Whitehorse gave such an impressive performance they drew a standing ovation, and both Raghu Dixit Project and Danny Michel with the Garifuna Collective had crowd members on their feet dancing. 

Over at Stage 5, Canadian artist Cold Specks had the crowd mesmerized with one of the best performances of the evening.

The festival also featured workshops and shows at stages across Jericho Beach Park throughout the day, from acts including Toronto band The Wooden Sky, Manitoba musician Del Barber, and East Vancouver's Maria in the Shower. 

Another full day of music is set for today (July 21), including performances from DeVotchKa, The Waterboys, and Natalie Maines.
