Hey BlueSky been a while. It’s been the summer of concerts for me. Just got home on Sunday from Ottawa’s #Bluesfest. Such an amazing line up. Despite coming down with a cold all most immediately and suffering 42C weather with 100% humidity for most of the festival it was worth it.

Pretty fun shot i got at the end of the night with everyone singing together <3 #bluesfest #greenday

And that’s a wrap on Bluesfest 2025.

That was an amazing nine nights of outdoor live music. And yes, I went every night. 😂😂

And that’s it for festivals for now. I feel I’ve been running to festivals nonstop since the middle of June.

Until next year, goodnight #Bluesfest

bad year indeed #greenday #ottawa #bluesfest

Another one i really like :) the accidental framing of random persons hand feels emblematic

Live from LeBreton Flats, BADBADNOTGOOD opening with Sabbath's War Pigs, to which I say fuck yeah! #Bluesfest
