Last night kicked off Bayfest weekend in Sarnia, Ontario. For those who do not know, Bayfest is an annual music festival that takes place on Sarnia's waterfront, in Centennial Park. Unlike past Bayfests, this year's festival is highlighted by mainly country music acts.
Last night, Keith Urban performed before a crowd of about 20,000 people, according to an article in today's Sarnia Sun. Tonight, the rock bands Everclear and Collective Soul will perform.
It will be interesting to see the numbers for tonight's rock performances, in comparison to the headlining country acts on the remaining nights. Interesting because this is the first time that Bayfest has diverged from its traditional rock roots to the country music genre.
Having been educated by one of the greatest programming talents in Canadian commercial radio, Ronald Edward Dann, I'm eager to see what effect the "preconceived notions" of the country music listener will have on this years festival.
I will be reporting news of the festival here for all of you to share in and ponder.
