Welcome to summer. It’s officially time to start thinking about RBC Bluesfest, that Ottawa-dominating music festival that sounds much more appealing now that Anderson .Paak has been added to a bill which already included Daniel Caesar, The Shins, LCD Soundsystem, Dead Obies and A Tribe Called Red to name a few.
