Good Reggae Artists
Visiting Ottawa in July? In that case if you are a music fan you have to see what the locals are listening to.
Ottawa residents last saw them at the Volleyball SummerFest in July.
They’ve played all over the US and recently returned from playing the South by Southwest festival in Texas, but to Loudlove drummer Dan Loach, there’s something to be said about playing gigs at home. That’s something I agree with, particularly in July with the great weather we have.
The Ottawa reggae/rock band will be performing at the Ottawa July event HOPE Volleyball SummerFest, Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest, and the Ottawa Reggae Festival this year.
“It’s nice that we don’t have to travel to Toronto or the east coast to play at a good (venue),” said Loach. Summer time, particularly July, in Ottawa has lots of music events.
That’s the concept behind the 2nd annual Ottawa Reggae Festival, stated festival director Danielle Vicha.
Ottawa’s music scene has really become larger, said Vicha at the festival’s launch recently. “People are going to shows more, artists are coming here and there are more venues for artists.”
While there are many music festivals in Ottawa, this July event fills what is mostly an original niche, she said.
“Reggae music is so universal. It’s like rock and roll – it has universal appeal.”
Although the festival includes national and international acts like Shaggy; Kardinal Offishall, one of the biggest hip-hop acts in Canada; dancehall artist Baby Cham and Jamaican reggae singer Tanya Stephens, 75 per cent of the festival’s acts are Canadian, said Vicha, including Ottawa artists Diction and Cris Quammie.
“We want to give people a chance to see Canadian talent,” said Vicha, “and to promote culture, arts and diversity in Ottawa.”
