Mother Nature’s latest ice storm hit Ottawa Monday night but didn’t slow down the I Mother Earth/Finger Eleven show at Algonquin College. The bands kicked off the night with an acoustic set which fans eagerly waited for. After a quick turn around the main event started. JJ Thompson kicked off the night with his acoustic set. Telling stories about joining the tour on the condition of fulfilling a request each night from the other bands, Thompson provided the audience with none other then Whitney Houston.
Nelly Still Hot In Herre | Algonquin Commons Theatre
Coming of age in the 2000s, it was hard to not have been at least peripherally familiar with Nelly’s music, if not jamming to his songs on the radio or in the club on a regular basis. Once a huge household name in hip-hop music, Grammy award winner Nelly performed at a much smaller venue than one might expect last night in Ottawa: the 700-seat Algonquin Commons Theatre. Unsurprisingly, the show was sold out.
