RBC Ottawa Bluesfest 2023 [Day 4]

By Ming Wu on Tuesday, July 11, 2023

I had a great time on Day 4 at RBC Ottawa Bluesfest.
You can call it “Hipster” night plus one 90s nostalgia act.
Playing that night were:
Death Cab For Cutie who finally got to headline the main stage since it was 12 years since the stage collapsed.
It was a spectacular indie rock set.

Tegan and Sara who I thought drew the most people on Sunday.
They played all the catchy hits like Back In Your Head, Walking With The Ghost and Closer.

Bran Van 3000 who I finally caught 20 years too late for the first time played a nice set.
I was happy that Drinking In L.A. was their second song while I was in the photo pit.
Also waited to hear Astounded which I was happy and danced to.

I was told to check out Jack Barksdale who is a young talented Americana folk singer.

Ottawa band Taming Sari rocked it out a the tent stage.
