The Dead Weather Photos from Ottawa Bluesfest

July 21st, 2009

We had the opportunity to head to one of Canada’s best kept secrets this weekend. Bluesfest happens in Ottawa once a year and the bands booked are some of the biggest and best touring artists this summer.

What started as a festival celebrating blues music and culture has turned into one of Canada’s premiere concert events. Artists like Ice Cube, Luda, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, The Dead Weather, Stone Temple Pilots, Gym Class Heroes were on the lineup this year.

Jack White’s new band The Dead Weather played Sunday night, and brought their raucous southern heavy-guitar blues to Ottawa. Despite their debut album Horehound only being out for a week, the crowd ate it up especially the set closer Treat Me Like Your Mother.
