Cette année, le Festival Country de Lotbinière a eu l’excellente idée d’offrir des spectacles gratuits en après-midi, mettant en vedette des artistes du Québec. La programmation a donc pratiquement doublé; les spectateurs étaient ravis de l’ajout et les artistes ont été enchantés de l’accueil qu’ils ont reçu. Même la pluie s’est faite clémente pendant ces spectacles.
James Barker Band closed Festival Country Lotbinière in grand fashion

The Reklaws steal day two with an emotional, heart filled performance in Quebec
Rain, rain and more rain was the story of the day on Saturday at Festival Country Lotbinière. Of course much of the area near the front of the stage, including our media pit, had turned into mud by the end of the show on Friday…by yesterday it was more like quick sand that fed on an endless supply of shoes, boots and the occasional small child (just kidding no children were eaten by the mud monster at this festival). Did anyone care? No because the music made us all forget that we were slowly sinking up to our knees in mud.

And that’s a wrap. After three incredible nights of live music we’re done for another year. After 2 years of waiting Granger Smith finally made it to Canada and he didn’t disappoint, all be it one of the smaller crowds of the weekend (likely due to the final night being a Sunday)
Several High notes on Day 2 of Festival Country de Lotbinière

Live music explodes back to Festival Country de Lotbinière with Matt Lang at the helm
