Blues on the Rideau at the Cove

coveSt. Patrick’s Day came early last night (March 14) with Ottawa’s own JW-JONES BAND www.jw-jones.com playing BLUES ON THE RIDEAU @ THE COVE INN, Westport. JW is famous for his blistering guitar work in Canada and around the world.  JW has played with legends like Kim Wilson of The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Hubert Sumlin from Howlin’ Wolf’s band, David “Fathead” Newman, Little Charlie Baty and Junior Watson to name a few. All the more special to have this group perform in the cozy setting of The Cove Inn. It was a great night of hot and sweaty blues and the audience loved it.

The Cove’s delicious buffet  featured southern fried chicken and maple glazed salmon plus the usual tasty assortment of salads, veggies and dessert earning 10 out of 10 ratings on most of the Comment Cards.  $520 was raised for the RIDEAU WATERWAY LAND TRUST www.rwlt.org bringing the total raised this year for local Westport charities by the BOTR Series to just under $3K.
