Esau. Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm sure its still a great fest, but I'd make my way to Ottawa for this festival if they had more blues artists in their line-up. Hopefully, this year will have a bit more then recent years.The last one I was at was in 1997, Confederation Park. Heres the line-up on the back of my t-shirt.Little FeatLuther AllisonDr.JohnJames CottonRoomful Of BluesMontreal Jubilation Gospel ChoirLittle George & The Shuffling HungariansLucky PetersonJunior WellsSuzie VinnickDeborah ColemanJumping Johnny SansoneLong John HunterTony DGuitar ShortyRocket Rached & The Fat City 8Anson Funderburgh & The Rockets feat: Sam MyersSherman RobertsonPlus more, over the 3 days.Some of the artists above are now deceased so I'm glad to got to see them when I did. Mainly, Luther Allison, what a live performer he was. I believe (although not 100%) this festival was one of his last performances in Canada before his passing.

bradm Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 So far I think I'm most excited about Jackson Browne.I wish either of David Lindley's appearances and Jackson Browne's appearance lined up, as I'd love to see Lindley sit in with Browne. (So far, I'm most excited about Jeff Beck. With any luck, he'll have Vinnie Calaiuta playing drums.)Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
