Countdown: In 7..

That's right.. in one week from now we'll be heading down to the island at Guelph Lake to set up some tents and take in a weekend full of more music than there were musicians at last week's BSS show. The excitement is spreading like this unknown arctic blob.

A look towards Friday...

Hopefully Coeur de Pirate will have her health/energy back to perform Friday night (after being forced to skip her Dawson City performance citing illness/exhaustion depending on the source). With her upcoming schedule absolutely packed (in Quebec) for the rest of the year, let's hope she can recoup! If not, I've got a fallback in Australia's The Grates. Speaking of energy, my bet is that USS will bring more to shut down the Island Stage Friday night than Loreena McKennitt over on the Main (no offense).

    Don't miss Xavier Rudd. Biggest surprise for me over the last 7 years at Hillside

  2. Josh, thanks for the tip. Since his timeslot is offset I'll probably check out the unimaginably multi-talented Rudd. Saw his Hillside Inside performance a couple years ago - does he ever have a lot going on (though I still found the dancers in the crowd to be the most entertaining!)
