And then there was one…hard to believe 8 nights of RBC Bluesfest are already in the history books. Night 8 was definitely one of the warmer nights of the festival, even though there was definitely more heat for Shania last night felt much more humid. If it wasn’t hot enough already Ludacris and Pitbull took the thermostat and cranked it up even higher making for a steamy night at Lebreton Flats.

21ish artists from 2021 you need to know! A year in review!
Well here we are, end of another year. 2021, the year started with a glimmer of hope and as the year went on the light at the end of this long COVID tunnel grew brighter and brighter…but it turns out the light was just an oncoming train called Omicron that would set us back even further than ever before. So we’re ending the year right back where we started the year…more or less locked down.

Country Night 2, last night…it rained delaying the gates by 2 hours nearly threatening the night’s entertainment…anyone else see the pattern here? In all three cases the show was able to go on and country music fans came out in large numbers to party, country style.
