Normally Ottawa can expect a visit from Brett Kissel at least once a year but Thursday’s visit was the first since Brett had to cancel his spring 2022 visit to TD Place due to vocal issues. There were no vocal issues to be found on Thursday as Brett was back in fine form much to the delight of a sold out Algonquin Commons Theatre, hot on the heels of a JUNO Award nomination.

COUNTRY ON THE BAY ANNOUNCES NEW VENUE AND NEW ARTISTS FOR 2022
Organizers of Country On The Bay have not only been navigating through the challenges of planning a festival during a pandemic, but have also had to find a new home for the inaugural event. Originally, the 2020 Country On The Bay festival was scheduled to drop anchor at Marina Park. Recent challenges with the original location presented logistical concerns. “We started out looking for a new location to host our event, and found a place we could call home,” says Rob Waloschuk, General Manager of Dauphin’s Countryfest and Co-Promoter of COUNTRY ON THE BAY.
