Okay, music lovers of the nation’s capital. You’ve had a good five days now to rest up, give your ear drums a break, sleep off that hangover and soothe that sunburn.
Between the Jazz Festival, HOPE Summerfest, Music and Beyond, and Bluesfest, it’s been a solid month of nightly live music, but there’s no rest for the weary in Ottawa’s festival season.
Country music lovers will soon get their day in the sun with Carleton Place’s Riverside Jam (July 30 to Aug. 1).
