After a three year wait, RBC Ottawa Bluesfest returns to LeBreton Flats.
Kicking off the first day (July 7):
Sarah Mclachlan was absolutely great with all the hits she performed. Great to see Whitehorse be Sarah’s backing band.
Alessia Cara wow the younger audience with her pop & R&B music. Great to hear her version of How Far I’ll Go from Disney’s Moana.
Jessia started off with a lively pop set.
