Bluesfest Day 3

Pacing, it’s all about pacing when it comes to Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest. Especially in this heat!! Make sure to take plenty of breaks indoors, inside the War Museum. Let’s be honest, we all know someone (no, I don’t mean me, ) who tends to knock a few back while at Lebreton Flats but for the love of all things holy, wait until the sun goes down!

If you’re leaning more towards that british prog rock thang, might I suggest The Moody Blues?

Haven’t caught the Black Sheep Music and Comedy stage? Be there tonight to see former SNL’er Jim Breuer:

And for a little bit of that retro kitsch factor, it doesn’t get any better than the B-52′s!
