Goodbye Bluesfest, Hello City Folk
Well, it seems that the Ottawa Bluesfest has finally reached its low. Why? Because this year's line-up stinks. There only about five acts max I would consider going to see. On top of that, we were waiting for 'the big announcement', and that's exactly what we got - Kanye West. Don't get me wrong, he's had a couple of good singles back in the day. Then his ego exploded, and he started doing stupid off, and now nobody cares. According to the Bluesfest's Facebook page, nearly every person who commented was not happy with this news, and about every 2nd or 3rd wanted the Foo fighters. What is the Bluesfest line-up? Right here: http://www.ottawabluesfest.ca/lineup/#/lineup Meanwhile, I've turned my focus to the Ottawa 'city Folk' event, held at Landsdowne Park, from Sept. 17-20, as you can see in the picture. With folk getting a revival in the past 5-10 years [in terms of 'mainstream' I mean. The genre is becoming popular again] thanks...
