Ottawa's Home of the Blues
Hard to believe, but Ottawa's institution of the blues is now a young adult, almost ready to move outta the parents basement. An incredibly festive event—Danny, Whammer, Terry, Donnie, Kurt, Stephanie and Co. opened their doors and the bar to a hungry and happy crowd.

Tony D organized the ALL STAR jam, made up of local legends like Tony D himself, Joe Hawkins, Rob Pappas, Dean Dupuis, Guy del Villano, Steve Lund, Don Evans, Sean Burke, Southside Steve, Scotty Doubt, Billy Mitchell, Billy Brendan, Roxanne Potvin, Matt Wood, Scott Aimme, Mike Ktenas, Matt & Marty Sobb.

Tony starts of the night with his trusty 335, Joe and Rob hit the stage with a wall o' Gibsons. Southside leads the pack, the crowd is luvin' it. Whammer and Danny hard at work. Roxanne did not get drunk!! Mark makes it back alive from Thailand with a few stories to tell, Billy Mitchell—the man who opened the Rainbow, Lundo and Tony talk shop and Pappas entertains backstage.

Tony D hit a high note with a special tribute to Ottawa blues greats Larry "the Bird" Mootham and Kevin "Kit" Kenny, who, I'm sure, were having an All Star Jam of their own up in the sky. Here's to everyone who, along the way, has made the past 20 years possible, keeping the Ottawa scene alive and well.
