Skynyrd, Dear Rouge and more Ottawa Bluesfest Week 2
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.

Kendrick Lamar Headlines Day 2 of WayHome Arts and Music Festival
Today I attended my first hip hop show. Thanks to WayHome and thank you Kendrick Lamar, tonight, you touched me and I wasn’t alone. The 30,000 plus crowd who gathered for the show were feeling it too. We waited patiently for Kendrick to take the stage and take it, he did. The crowd was putty in his hands from the second he stepped on stage, and he knew it.
Ottawa Bluesfest – Week in Review
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.
