Ottawa (?!!) Blues Festival lineup announced
The (?!!) is because I can’t believe that Ottawa has a festival this freaking insane. Though not yet listed (that I could find) on the Bluesfest site, apparently The Village People will also be playing. So, The White Stripes, Bob Dylan and THE VILLAGE PEOPLE will be a part of the same festival? I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I want to go to Ottawa.

Bob Dylan
George Thorogood
Gary U.S. Bonds

“The (?!!) is because I can’t believe that Ottawa has a festival this freaking insane.”
Haven’t been paying much attention for the last decade or so, have you? Google it, or visit Wikipedia (Bluesfest). You might be surprised to discover that we’re quite spoiled for summer festivals in the nation’s capital. Much more so than the naval-gazing Toronto. Leafs suck! Habs will rule one day, and this is the year of the Sens.

I can’t see Jetplanes of Abraham on your list. They are playing on July 7.
Can you post this band.
Thanks
