OTTAWA BLUESFEST is Canada's BEST FESTIVAL of the SUMMER !!

Sunday July 11th, 2009 (10:20 a.m.)

CRUCIAL Blog entry #41

The 2009 line-up for the Ottawa Bluesfest is THE BEST CONCERT LINE-UP FESTIVAL IN CANADA THIS SUMMER!! Hands-down.

BEN HARPER was amazing on Thursday night playing not only great tracks from his new album but also GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES by Led Zeppelin and UNDER PRESSURE by QUEEN.

The highlight for me so far has been LINDSAY FERGUSON on FRIDAY night on the SUBWAY Stage with the Ottawa River glistening in the background as the sun was slowly setting on a beautiful and breezy summer evening. LINDSAY FERGUSON played 5 new songs and ended her set with a Tribute to Michael Jackson and played a groovin version DON'T STOP (TILL YOU GET ENOUGH) and she really brought the crowd together and made more than a few people cry with her unique and original interpretation of the classic MJ song.

SAM ROBERTS also rocked-out as well as STEVE EARLE !!

The OTTAWA BLUESFEST runs until Sunday July 19th at Lebreton Flats as well as other venues and Free shows in the Market.

Today is going to be a great day with MOTHER MOTHER, ANI DIFRANCO, JOE COCKER and many, many others...
