Great Big Sea dropped by Stuntman and the Shark this morning which was really cool because many bands don't like to get up for early interviews. Two members of GBS (Allan Doyle, Bob Hallett) talked about their new album "
Safe Upon The Shore" and what fans can expect when they hit the stage tonight at
Bluesfest. You might want to ride the red rocket or take a cab to this show, as Allan said this morning "Our fans like to be refreshed during our shows".

Over the summer a little known band called "The Dube Brothers" picked up some local attention as they were busking outside of Bluesfest every night. The pint sized band made up of 3 brothers are well on their way to raising 100k for Haiti's orphans. One night, some of the guys from Arcade Fire joined them and now have offered to match whatever the boys raise up to a million. I met the guys prior to the Sens home opener (where they played) and bought a toque, which to my amazement fits my massive mellon.
