Well Day 9 started off a little earlier than the previous day. With it being the second last day…I didn’t want to waste it no matter how just about done I am lol! Some of the highlights on my list included Elijah Woods x Jamie Fine, Jessie Reyez, Rae Sremmurd, Colin James and, of course a sampling of everything in between.
Sass Jordan and Cold Creek County to headline Spencerville Fair
It’s that time of year again, festival season is in full swing and fall fair lineups are starting to be announced. Fairs in and around the Ottawa area always offer something for all musical tastes and the 2018 Spencerville Fair lineup is no different.
Beck and Sturgill Simpson impress on Friday night at RBC Bluesfest
As a full festival pass holder for the past 8 years, I go to the festival to have a great time, see a lot of my faves, a few I was not a fan of before, that I am a fan of now, old acts, new acts and discover new artists/bands I’ve never heard of before and are amazing. There is no other feeling in the world, like the way seeing that artist right there in front of my face, singing along with them live and not through headphones or YouTube etc, or catching their attention if only for a second. Maybe you get a chance to be able to touch them quick as they pass right by you, and how it makes me feel the music even deeper inside my soul then I already do!! I have had goosebumps every at least 30 seconds every day at this festival this year, and pretty much cried while watching some shows every night for the first 5 days!!! I’m that emotional kind of fan lol!!

Record crowds descend on RBC Bluesfest for Greta Van Fleet and Foo Fighters
Anyone who still says Ottawa is the city that fun forgot needed to be in attendance at RBC Bluesfest last night, or really any night so far this summer. Last night, in particular, record crowds turned out early for prime viewing positions for one of the most requested acts in recent years, the Foo Fighters and newcomers Greta Van Fleet.
Diversity + Talent = 2018 Calgary Stampede Music Line-up
The best thing about the Calgary Stampede music stages has to be the diversity as much as the talent of the line-up. It’s NOT just country music. The organizers have gone through great lengths to ensure diversity of genres. The headliners from July 9th proved that.
