The Wavelength
Monday July 4th, 2022 with Joe Reilly
Artists appearing at RBC Ottawa Bluesfest from July 7-17 and a look at America in music for July 4th

We open with a couple of great summer songs and a song by Meshell Ndegeocello who put on a marvellous show at the Ottawa Jazz Festival last week. Then we swing into more than an hour of music by artists who are appearing at RBC Ottawa Bluesfest starting this Thursday, July 7 and running until July 17. Lots of great music to check out as part of Bluesfest this year and hopefully some of these tunes may inspire you to head out to the Fest.

Enjoy.
