It was a great weekend at the Ottawa Capital Hoedown in August. We were told it was the largest country concert in Canada. There were several well known country artists who performed over the 3 day event. The Keats, my daughters, shown here performed on Saturday afternoon ahead of Sarah Evans and Rascal Flatts. That did a great job entertaining the audience. The weather turned out to be fantastic the entire weekend and the crowds packed the field. The band was a family band with Sharlene and Jolene’s husbands playing guitars and my son, Troy on the drums. An addtion to the band was their bass player friend, Matt.
The press reviews were great overall. A blogger from Ottawa, wrote about all the happenings daily which is online at Metro news, Ottawa. The Keats also had radio interviews throughout Ontario. Even though my husband and I drove to Ottawa, it was only for the weekend but well worth it. Music is a major part of our lives. To see our kids involved and be enriched in the music industry is very rewarding because they are talented and they offer their voices and songwriting skills to create music for the music lovers.
On the Journey! Jan
