#Canada Performs at the RBC Bluesfest Drive In - Interviews and music with artists like Donovan Woods, Terra Lightfoot, Nambi and the Rhythm, Haviah Mighty and Shad: all appearing this weekend at the first concerts in our region in months!

We are finally going to have some concerts in the Ottawa-Gatineau area this coming weekend as the National Arts Centre and RBC Ottawa Bluesfest combine forces to bring us the #Canada Performs at the RBC Ottawa Bluesfest Drive In. Basically this Friday and Saturday nights (July 31 and August 1) you can experience live music at a drive in - just like old school drive in movies. The concert series continues next weekend as well and you can find all the info you need about the lineups, ticketing, when to arrive, what to bring, etc. right here: https://canadaperforms.ottawabluesfest.ca/ On the show tonight we play music from some of the acts coming to perform and revisit some interviews I did with 3 of the artists. We hear from Donovan Woods, Terra Lightfoot and Shad and listen to the music of several other artists who will be performing. Check out the hilarious moment in the Donovan Woods interview where he tells me that he did a co-write with one of my favourite singer-songwriters Lori McKenna. I literally interrupt Donovan to ensure I heard correctly and we do down a rabbit hole about what a great artist Lori McKenna is. Here are links to the sites for the artists featured today: https://www.donovanwoods.net/ http://terralightfoot.com/ https://www.shadk.com/ https://haviahmighty.ca/ http://patrickwatson.net/ https://basiabulat.com/ http://www.samrobertsband.com/ Here is Terra live at Massey Hall, as promised. http://terralightfoot.com/live-at-massey-hall-concert-film/
