Along with the main stage headliners, most of whom are making their first-ever Ottawa tour stop, Bluesfest is offering up some favourites of festivals past, and a full complement of Canadiana with the likes of Tegan and Sara and Sam Roberts Band. “The festival has evolved into a huge celebration of music in the summer for the city of Ottawa,” said Monahan. “The feedback we get from our avid music fans to our casual music fans – they make their plans around this. It puts a lot of pressure on us to offer a broad spectrum of acts without trying to do the same thing over and over again. I think we hit that this year.” For more information of the event : http://www.ottawabluesfest.ca/ Follow on Twitter : @ottawabluesfest BOOTS AND HEARTS MUSIC FESTIVAL
