Reviews of some great performances at RBC Ottawa Bluesfest and previews of what's to come this week.

RBC Ottawa Bluesfest started last week (on the 7th) and continues until next Sunday, July 17th. We open the show by reviewing three great performances at RBC Ottawa Bluesfest last week and feature songs by Femi Kuti, Bombino and Tash Sultana. If you'd like to see Tash Sultana doing their thing, building a big, bold track in the studio using looping technology, check out this link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi_UJV-8RhU Then we look ahead to what's coming to RBC Ottawa Bluesfest this week and do some deep dives into the music of Michael Franti, The National and Lucy Dacus. We also feature some songs by some of the Canadian artists appearing at the Fest.
