Alberta Cross opened our second day of the Ottawa Bluesfest coverage with their gritty roots rock flowing across the grounds rapidly attracted a large crowd! Many first time listeners chanting along to the chorus creating a buzz of “WHO are these guys? Alberta Cross made many new Canadian fans with their genuine honest performance.
Toronto based Bedouin Soundclash took the stage under the intense afternoon sun rays. A performance
filled with vibrant personality & raggae/ska “feel good” summer tunes. Their infectious songs and shining stage presense; a highlight for many festival goers.

The Roots! Where just that! Real earthy beats, richly saturated bass with RnB vocals in flawlessly seemed harmonies. Throw in a wicked Guns N’ Roses ”Sweet Child of Mine” cover and you have yourself a unique and authentic performance. Amazing stage energy!
Closing out the night on the main stage under dramatic lighting Ben Harper mesmorized the crowd! His pensive soulfullness/blues/folk/rock and wicked Jimmy Hendrix cover left the crowd feeling the electric vibe as diverse as Harpers guitar selection.
