The Ottawa Bluesfest has been a hit for years, drawing crowds from all over the world. One of the key factors for this is the organizer’s ability to cater to the musical tastes of its varied patrons by offering performances from a wide selection of musicians and artists from around the world. One example of the Ottawa Bluesfest’s dedication to its patrons is the World Gospel Jam. This stage gives patrons a taste of the roots of many successful and famous blues musicians, while showcasing prominent gospel artists. This year’s main act for the World Gospel Jam was top gospel artist and Grammy Award winner Kirk Franklin. The anticipation and excitement for his performance drew crowds from Montreal and as far as Toronto. And without a doubt, he delivered in true boot stomping, revolutionary Kirk Franklin style.
