Bluesfest: Amanda Rheaume

Amanda Rheaume's another Ottawa performer who I only seem to ever catch at Bluesfest; I didn't see her last year but have been able to catch her upward arc in previous years.

Amanda strums and sings!



Steely action!



Bass action!



More Amanda!



Organ action!



Faceoff action!



Extra bass! And you can tell it's sunny out by the fare ... that didn't last!



Guitar action!



Harmonica action!



It was just a quick stop, then I rushed off to see The Dube Brothers do their thing. Edit, Dec. 30: So quick I forgot I came back to watch more of the show and take a few more photos ... here's some clapping action with sundry guests and tots.



Olympian action!



Amanda's next big scheduled gig in town is April 21 at the Masonic Hall, but I suspect they'll be more on her calendar in the New Year.

• Show reminder: The Super Awesome Club rocks Irene's; The Late '94s, Aardwolf and Cope Only Cope are at The Rainbow; Megan Jerome, Rebecca Muir and Kaleigh Watts play the Elmdale.
