Summer is here and that means it’s almost time for another edition of the Ottawa Bluesfest! While all the hype typically surrounds the headliners, there is loads of local talent performing as well. So if you’re going, head out early and discover some of the great local music that our city has to offer. Once again this year, there are many great up and coming local bands for you to discover and enjoy!
