The 4th annual Sing Out for CHEO event will take place this February at the Lone Star Loft in Ottawa and today it was announced that Ottawa based speaker, musician, comedian and children’s entertainer Rory Gardiner will join Danny Sylvestre in the lineup for 2020.

Algonquin Commons Theatre played host to an intimate acoustic set with George Canyon and Rory Gardiner. The theatre was pretty full considering the Monday night show paired with the wild day of weather, and those who were in attendance were excited to be there.

Doc Marten’s and mohawks were replaced by cowboy boots and plaid as the River Town Saints rolled into Mavericks on Friday night. Ottawa’s favourite metal venue was officially taken over by the boys from the Valley.

After an incredible start to this year’s Ottawa Bluesfest the second week was the week that had more of the music I was interested loaded so it was no doubt one I would be looking forward to covering.  Initial plans were that I would be finished my shifts with the Green Team by this point as well but health issues in the first week forced me to pick up some shifts in the second week.

It’s hard to believe that the event that I’ve been anticipating all year is already halfway through.  It feels like just yesterday that the Full Flex Express rolled into town kicking off what would be an incredible 11 days of live entertainment along the Ottawa River.  New to our coverage this year is the addition of Sean Sisk, our new resident event photographer extraordinaire in the Ottawa region.  Sean’s incredible pictures will appear throughout my reviews and allow me to focus on the music and our social media coverage instead of trying to get the perfect shot.
