Cowboy Junkies, M. Ward Playing With Boston Pops

Cowboy Junkies and M. Ward will be playing with the Boston Pops this summer in the third EdgeFest, designed to attract a younger crowd to Symphony Hall.

Cowboy Junkies, known for a moody sound that incorporates blues, rock, and folk, will play June 23 and 24. Indie folk singer M. Ward will perform with the Pops on June 26 and 27.

The Pops will also perform a commission by Los Angeles composer Felix Brenner as part of the Cowboy Junkies program, and a remix of the work by DJ Paul Oakenfold during Ward's dates.

Since launching the EdgeFest series, the Pops has collaborated with Aimee Mann, My Morning Jacket, and Guster.
