The Mountain City Four were a Canadian folk music group, based in Montreal and active from 1963 to 1967.[1] The group consisted of Jack Nissenson, Peter Weldon, Kate McGarrigle and Anna McGarrigle.[2][3] They are primarily remembered for popularizing a number of songs by Wade Hemsworth, including the National Film Board animated short The Log Driver's Waltz,[4] as well as for Nissenson's recording of Bob Dylan's 1962 Finjan Club concert in Montreal.
