Photos from Tanya Tagaq‘s set on the second day of the Ottawa Folk Festival.
She played the Dance Tent and it was a exhilarating show that you shouldn’t have missed.
She is one innovative artist and she almost reminds me of Bjork.

Photos from Frank Turner‘s set on the second day of the Ottawa Folk Festival.
He played at the Dance tent and it was a wonderful set.
He made a surprise for a long-time volunteer of the festival and played a song with him on stage.
I got a chance to speak with Frank on the last day of the festival.
NOTE: It was raining that day so it might be hard to listen this interview, also there is a part in the interview where you hear the sounds of thunder.
That was when Frank’s manager makes a monster of an entrance.
Listen to the interview.
