073116 Radiohead/Leon Bridges/Nathaniel Rateliff, Montreal, QC
After years of skipping out on what had been widely reported as a fantastic festival, on July 31st, 2016 I drove to Montreal for the Osheaga Festival.

July 20th, 2017 was a beautiful day and the pair of us drove south out of the city to little, rural Kemptville and parked in the sparsely-filled Community College campus parking lot. There was nobody in line for tickets and nobody in line to get in, and in mere seconds we were on the soccer pitch walking idly towards the beer tent…

July 19th, 2009 was a great big day, in so many ways and for so many people. It started early and ended late, contained lots of firsts, a couple of lasts, and a whole bunch of in-betweens…
