PicturePatti Smith at Ottawa Folk Fest 2013
The Ottawa Folk Festival certainly got off with a spectacular start! Wednesday evening, the Godmother of punk, Patti Smith, took to the stage for what I thought was much too short a set. But every moment was golden. I was struck by how happy she was. Very unassuming despite the reverence she deserves, she genuinely loved performing for us. And we soaked in every note, every self-deprecating comment and every fist pump with awe.  Ms. Smith took a stroll through the crowd and I managed to capture this quick shot with my bb cam.

THIS FRIDAY ON HOP THE FENCE:
Another Friday. Another weekend. And plenty more great Canadian music!  Here's who's on the program tonight beginning at 5 pm on CHUO 89.1 FM in Ottawa. Or you can tune in on-line at CHUO.fm. We're also on iTunes under "College Radios".  Check us out!


TYMPANIC
A well-liked local band who know how to pop a catchy beat with horns and all. Always fun to see live, they've got a big show booked at Ritual on Saturday. Go show some support!

FOLLY AND THE HUNTER
Montreal-based band whose 2nd disc, Tragic Care shows how they translate tragedy into beautiful music. Catch them at the Ottawa Folk Festival on Sunday afternoon (2 pm)

Also queued up for your listening pleasure:
Vance Joy: OK he's not Canadian - but he's traveling all the way from Australia to perform at the Ottawa Folk Festival on Saturday (6:30 pm)
Phantom Shores: A little folk, a little rock and plenty in between. Ottawa band performing at Raw Sugar Cafe tonight.
