Barrelhouse

I've been meaning to put up a review of a band we saw at the Tulip Festival, purely by chance.

After watching Honeymoon Suite, and having no interest whatsoever in Trooper (who?), we decided to head over to the Earl of Sussex tent, where we were treated to an absolutely brilliant show by a fabulous Ottawa band named Barrelhouse.

All four of us were completely blown away by the stage presence of every member of the entire band. They had two lead singers, one male and one female...both of whom had crazy pipes, the woman had this great slow and sexy voice. The lead male singer just rocked, having one of those unique voices that ranges all over the map, completely hypnotic. He was sitting around during the break and I would have never guessed he was about to let loose on stage.

Honestly, if you're in Ottawa and you like classic rock...make sure to check out one of their upcoming shows. Actually, if you're in Ottawa and you don't really like classic rock, you should still check out one of their shows. They're really that good.
