bouche Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 from ottawasun.comBlue Rodeo, Serena Ryder, Joel Plaskett Emergency, Paul Brandt, Oliver Jones Trio and Ron Hynes are some of the highlights from the Hill's main stage.Oliver Jones Trio is playing Jazzfest as well as Canada Day. That's 2 opportunities to see not only a Canadian legend, but a fucking amazing pianist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic ChrisC Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Wicked!!! I love being downtown on Canada Day. I'll just walk around to different venues and check out whatever's going on. Been wanting to see Garnet Rogers for a while now (simply because this guy I know in the States travels to Canada regularly just to go see this guy, so I'm curious). Looks like he's playing in the afternoon and at night.I also wanna see Alex Cuba.I love Canada Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
