Bluesfest Day 4 – Schedule

Lots of stuff to see today:

5:00PM – Infected Mushroom – Rogers Stage
6:15PM – Snoop Dogg – Bank of America Stage
7:30PM – Primus – Rogers Stage
9:00PM – Widespread Panic – Bank of America Stage
9:00PM – The Wailers – Roots Stage
9:30PM – The Weakerthans – Black Sheep Stage

wow, busy day… too much overlap, and given my track record so far… not much hope of seeing all of this.  I’m really curious about The Wailers (think Bob Marley and…), but Widespread Panic is supposed to be amazing…  Snoop is going to be a madhouse for sure.

Bluesfest Day 3 – Schedule

Kind of a light schedule for me today considering this is the first Saturday – I’ll head down early though and do some exploring – of course the big act of the day is Steely Dan which I’m really looking forward to.  My schedule for now looks something like:

6:00PM – Ladytron – Rogers Stage
9:00PM – Zappa Plays Zappa – Roots Stage
9:30PM – Steely Dan – Bank of America Stage

I must admit I know nothing about the Six Shooters record label, but I’m intrigued by what’s happening at the Black Sheep Stage today so I’ll be heading over there to check things out for sure.

Bluesfest Day 2 – schedule

Day 2 should be a pretty light day – Danielle and I decided to treat ourselves and got Gold Circle passes for Feist.  We’ll be getting there early to do some exploring around the smaller stages.  The only other act I really want to catch today is Ottawa-based Evil Farm Children who I’ve heard many good things about.  So our taking-it-easy schedule should look something like this:

6:00PM – Evil Farm Children – Roots Stage
9:30PM – Feist – Bank of America Stage

Bluesfest Day 1 – anticipation

Here we go!  10 days of musical bliss!  Let’s see what we can do about my possibly impossible list of artists I want to see.  Tonights schedule:

7:00PM – Secret Machines – Bank of America Stage
7:30PM – Fiftymen – Roots Stage
8:15PM – TV on the Radio – Rogers Stage
9:00PM – The Blind Boys of Alabama – Roots Stage
9:30PM – The Tragically Hip – Bank of America Stage

Oh man… there’s some serious overlap and lots of running between stages there already.  I’ll report back later or maybe tomorrow.
