August 30th, 2013

Can it really be the end of August? AKA the end of summer?  No way!  Thankfully, it is also time for the Ottawa Folk Festival. With this year's stellar line-up, it'll be easy to take our minds off the ebbing of summer's long warm days.  Since 2011, the festival has been taking over the picturesque Hog's Back Park.  Get yourself ready to enjoy some "Adventures in Folkland" beginning Wednesday Sept 4 to Sunday Sept 8! 

Similarly to the Ottawa Bluesfest, there's an excellent contingency of local artists featured at the festival. Since Hop The Fence's mandate is to feature Canadian and local artists, I will be doing just that on today's program.  Little Stella, an Ottawa-based band will be performing at the festival on Thursday, Sept 5 at 6 pm. Today I'll be speaking with Zach, the latest member of what is now a four-piece band.  If you haven't heard them yet, you will not want to miss this.  Methinks they have a bright future ahead.

Let us help you kick off your long weekend with some great Canadian tunes!  Listen-up at 5 pm on 89.1 fm in Ottawa or online at www.CHUO.fm
