The Juno Awards, Canada’s evening of issuing honours for musical achievement, are ON RIGHT NOW.
I’m excited. I am also using the occasion to throw a few photos up here from the past few years of Canadian artists whose concerts I went to.
Emily Haines of Metric, being Emily Haines. That is, impressive and sparkly. (Ottawa Bluesfest 2010)

Gord Downie of the Tragically Hip. He is sadly cool. (Ottawa Bluesfest 2011)
He might have dirty danced with the mic stand. O dear Gord. (Ottawa Bluefest, 2011)
Kathleen Edwards with her pal Jim Bryson in the background on keys. (Ottawa Folkfest, 2012)
Kathleen Edwards in her hometown. And super cool Jim Bryson in the background. (Ottawa Folkfest 2012)
Rocking so hard. Kathleen Edwards: the reason I volunteered for Ottawa Folkfest 2012.

Rush. Rush. Rush. I was about a kilometer from the stage. Once upon a time Kathleen Edwards said in an interview “I don’t like Rush. So suck it Canada.”
Between watching the Junos and reliving all these concerts through photos… well the talent is killing me.
