I don’t know what mother nature has against country music this summer but I’m starting to see a pattern here. Festival Country de Lotbinière, it rained. Country night 1 featuring Eric Church, it rained and delayed the gates by 2 hours nearly threatening the night’s entertainment. 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.
Bluesfest acted Logically on Wednesday Night
Day 6 concluded with the the first hip hop show of the festival. Unlike previous years this one was tame compared to what we have seen in the past, likely thanks to relatively positive messages from headliner Logic.
Buddy Guy King of Ottawa Bluesfest
Last night Ottawa’s Bluesfest was host to a living legend, Buddy Guy. At 82 years of age, he still rocks the shit out of a guitar and holds the audience in the palm of his hand.
Glorious Sons,Taking Back Sunday tore it up Saturday at Ottawa Bluesfest 2019
Saturday, Day 3 at the Ottawa Bluesfest. The humidity had finally broke but the heat was still intense and not just from the sun. The Bluesville stage continued to be host to some outstanding artists. The Texas Horns who have been perennial guest stars of the festival for close to 20 years, were joined by The Split for a set of their own. If you love blues which is heavily driven by a horn section, The Texas Horns are a band you don’t want to miss. Kaz Kazanoff, John Mills and Al Gomez had the room full of excitement and energy that was thoroughly enjoyed by a packed house.
