This Week's Live Blues, Jazz & More
by Bluesandjazzguy
12 July 2009
Follow the link for live music opportunities listed this week on the
Ottawa Blues, Jazz & Swing Guide Week's calendar
Here's of particular note on the calendar:
a.. Monday, 13 July to Sunday 19 July
- Ottawa Bluesfest continues to Sunday 19 July. Primary site is at the Lebreton
Flats War Museum location. Besides the Primary site, some clubs like the Rainbow
Bistro may have visiting acts in for late night jams. - Here's the Bluesfest
web site for more detail.
b.. The rest of the week is pretty much business as usual on regular live music events
as listed on the calendar so need not be highlighted here.
Not everything is posted on the calendar as it's musician/venue optional to post, and
amend the listings as needed. However there's more info on the calendar including
links to the venue web sites such as Rainbow Bistro, Tucson's, The Elmdale and Bass Line
Station that have more detailed schedules.
It's also a good idea to call a venue to confirm that regular listings still apply
as they sometimes just quietly go away.
Check the calendar for more on Ottawa live music events. For a full month's view,
