MORE Deep Roots:

The Deep Roots Music Cooperative was incorporated in 2003 by a group dedicated to developing and promoting the music scene in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. Because of COVID-19, and the public health measures, it is very difficult to enact the Deep Roots mission: To create meaningful connections between cultures, community groups, artists and audiences by offering music-related events, programs, and an annual festival.

The Deep Roots Music Cooperative is committed to creating opportunities for Annapolis Valley artists and beyond. The Wolfville Summer Concert Series, a partnership between Deep Roots and the Town of Wolfville. runs throughout the summer, each Sunday afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00 in the Waterfront Park in Wolfville.
