Info
On July 9, 2026, Ottawa Bluesfest lands at LeBreton Flats, Ottawa, with a bill that moves from raw pop confessionals to jazz rap, folk harmonies and psychedelic grooves.
Jessie Murph brings a pop sound steeped in country, R&B and melodic hip‑hop. Raised between Alabama and Tennessee, she writes with a direct voice about family, mental health and messy relationships. Since 2021, a run of singles and the 2023 project “drowning” have shaped her identity between piano ballads and darker productions, carried by a grainy, upfront vocal. On stage, she keeps it close‑range, voice first.
Cody Johnson plants both boots in Texan country. Guitars and fiddle drive two‑step tempos, between storytelling ballads and more rugged tracks, with lyrics anchored in work, family and ranch life. From early indie albums to “Human: The Double Album” and “Leather,” he stays true to a bar‑room feel, pushed live by The Rockin’ CJB.
The Longest Johns revive maritime folk with tight harmonies and acoustic arrangements. Born as an a cappella quartet in Bristol, they move easily from traditional shanties to originals like Bones in the Ocean, inviting big choral sing‑alongs.
Digable Planets line up jazzy samples, easy‑swing drums and laid‑back flows. The Brooklyn trio’s classics Reachin’ and Blowout Comb thread everyday stories with social awareness, shaping a cornerstone of alternative hip‑hop.
From Sweden, Goat turns psych rock into a collective ritual. Masks, saturated riffs and heavy percussion meet afrobeat, funk and folk influences, from World Music to Oh Death, for a trance‑like, percussive ride.
