Paid Off In Tunes

Paid off in tunes---here’s the deal, thanks to my hard work in the intensive Baking and Pastry Program, I have been invited by the College to be on a team of chefs for the Bluesfest, here in Ottawa. In return for my cooking time I get free passes to all the shows at the Bluesfest. I wonder who I will meet?  The schedule of artists is impressive. I will definitely like to see Stars, one of my favourite bands right now.  A Montreal indie rock band that is smart, wistful and ironic. Their music says the world is not reliable -- all the living are dead and all the dead are all living. Perfectly said in “In Our Bedroom After the War.” I love all the songs sung by Amy Millan——The Night Starts Here, My Favourite Book, Window Word, and more.

The other band I would like to see is Wintersleep from Halifax. Not all of their songs blow me away, but I really like the song "Weighty Ghost."
