Burnaby Blues & Roots Festival

I went to the annual Burnaby Blues & Roots Festival for the first time - my mom, and both my sisters went as well. Holly was able to attend for free, so it was a girls' outing! It was really fun and the musicians were all really amazing and super talented.

This is Imelda May on stage - a quirky Irish singer. She tried to "jump the fence" - to see the lake - and likely ended up breaking her ankle! She was in a fair amount of pain, but sang anyway - and joked that while most people are trying to climb fences into concerts, she would be the only one trying to get OUT!


The headliner this year was k.d. lang! She was awesome to hear live, and sang some of our favourites, like Constant Craving and Hallelujah.
















The weather cooperated and the moon made a great appearance, while k.d. was singing. I would definitely come back next year if we're in town!
