Bonnie Dobson, the Canadian folk music songwriter, singer and guitarist, best known in the 1960s for composing “(Walk Me Out in the) Morning Dew,” returns to the Mariposa Folk Festival on July 7 where her song will be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.

"Morning Dew" has had many cover recordings over the years by the likes of Jeff Beck, Allman Brothers and, more recently, Serena Ryder.

Dobson first performed her anti-nuke protest ballad, accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, at the inaugural Mariposa Festival in 1961. In 2013, she performed the song with Robert Plant at the Royal Festival Hall.

Travis Scott Teases ‘Amazing’ New Album: ‘Pushing Myself … to Make Something I Haven’t Made Before’

La Flame also discussed Cactus Jack signing a first-look deal with a movie studio in a new interview.

Travis Scott is riding high after starring in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. La Flame’s winning streak continued on Wednesday (July 22) when he graced the cover of Variety, which saw him dish on a multitude of topics, including his anticipated forthcoming album and first-look deal with Paramount Pictures.

“I’m here to conquer who I am as an artist. In these side quests — these cool things I like to do — I never lose sight of the main goal. I’m still trying to do every stadium in the United States and the world,” Scott said, shedding light into his mindset as he heads into his next record, which will be his first since 2023’s Utopia. “I’m working on an album right now, and that’s f–king amazing. And I’m constantly pushing myself to push the sonics to try to make something that I haven’t made before.”
