shrader Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 it's pretty sad that this happened... ...but why is Cheap Trick at a Blues Fest???? I love Cheap Trick...but, blues??? Look at some of the acts mentioned in that story. My guess is the event is sponsored by Labatt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heels20X6 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 it's pretty sad that this happened... ...but why is Cheap Trick at a Blues Fest???? I love Cheap Trick...but, blues??? Let the board Ottawan fill you in... When the festival first started it was strictly a blues festival with blues musicians and some jazz sprinkled in. Unfortunately, that didn't do so well, so the festival started peppering itself with some bigger 'names' that were fringe "bluesy" and that was met with some success. Slowly but surely, more rock, pop, and hip-hop acts starting appearing and over the course of a few years, "Bluesfest" became more about a gigantic two-week music festival than about the blues. Blues still has a play there, but it's relegated to the side stages. "Bluesfest" is still the name but now everything is blue in color for marketing purposes. P.S. Cheap Trick was awesome until God decided He'd had enough of their licks and brought down the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
