Yesterday was the final day to catch some free music in Burlington, Ontario as the 37th annual Sound of Music Festival wrapped up with Canadian rock legends Loverboy. My family and I have been attending SOMF for the past 5 years and LOVE bringing the family down to enjoy the weekend. As a family we have made it a point to try to make it every year. This year however I was flying solo and had a chance to spend a couple of days at the event and I have to say I couldn’t be happier with the time spent. This is one of those festivals that is so diverse in music it has something for everyone. With so many fantastic artists on the stage this weekend here is what we were able to cover.
Vancouver’s Dear Rouge added to Ottawa Bluesfest

While researching for a preview piece leading up to tomorrow’s believed 2015 line-up announcement for RBC Royal Bank Ottawa Bluesfest I came across the 2015 Ottawa Bluesfest website via a Google search. Based on information we had been told leading up to today there were enough constancies to make us believe this is was the real thing. ***Update: The information below was confirmed by an official announcement by Ottawa Bluesfest posted at the bottom of this article***
