The Sheepdogs, The Avett Brothers, Hey Ocean! and Tift Merrit shine during day four of the Ottawa Folk Festival

It was under thick grey skies that the fourth day of the Ottawa Folk Festival took place on September 7, yet the spirit of those in attendance was unaffected, much more moved by the vast variety of music available. A concrete example of this would be prior day's main acts: country queen Emmylou Harris and hip-hop sensation Kendrick Lamar. It wasn’t as diverse as Bluesfest, however, for at least half the shows stayed true to the festival’s title.
