After an incredible start to this year’s Ottawa Bluesfest the second week was the week that had more of the music I was interested loaded so it was no doubt one I would be looking forward to covering. Initial plans were that I would be finished my shifts with the Green Team by this point as well but health issues in the first week forced me to pick up some shifts in the second week.
Tragically Hip – Kickin’ it in Kitchener
Last night The Tragically Hip made a pit stop at the Kitchener Aud on their way back from 2 sold out nights in Kirkland Lake over the weekend. They are set to play a big Canada Day Extravaganza at Molson Amphitheatre on July 1st with a more carnival type setting before the concert. Might be kinda cool to check out. BUT.. On this night there were no rides, no cotton candy it was all about the music.
Little Big Town Have to Cancel 2 Ontario Dates…
So both Ottawa RBC Blues Fest and Gone Country have just been informed they lost a headlining act. Little Big Town has had to cancel both apperences due to Jimi’s vocal health. See TWEET below. (link here)
With heavy hearts we want to let you guys know that Jimi will have to undergo surgery next week to remove a polyp on his vocal cord. As a result, doctors have ordered him to rest his voice and completely recuperate before we continue touring. All shows through July 30th will be cancelled or rescheduled.
It breaks our hearts to let you guys down, but Jimi’s health is the most important thing and he is expected to make a full recovery with rest and treatment. We will keep everyone updated on Jimi’s progress. Thanks for your understanding and support. – K,K,J & P
Wonder who Gone Country will be able to wrangle up last minute? We have a few suggestions, Jake Owen, or maybe Brantley Gilbert? Just trying to help!
