Hello Ottawa Blues Supporters!
UPDATES - IBC
If you haven't already heard, this year's International Blues Challenge (Memphis
TN) was a great success. Canada's, Harrison Kennedy from Canal Bank Shuffle placed
2nd in the Solo/duo competition! Canadians have certainly been leaving their mark at the
IBC these past few years!
Our OBS band, Al Wood & the Woodsmen, made the Semi-Final round; our OBS Solo/Duo,
Brandon Agnew & Benny Gutman overcame some technical difficulties the first night and
played two solid sets to an appreciative crowd. Both OBS representatives did us proud!
Photos of the event are available on Facebook & can be accessed by non-FB users here:
