There was a lot happening on Saturday, Sept. 16.
I only caught a little bit of the 6th Street Block party in Festival Square I missed Halifax singer songwriter Braden Lam and Mia Kelly who played the Owl Acoustic lounge the night before, so caught a little bit of Lam’s set. He played a solo set of acoustic music.
He provided the soundtrack to a bustling town square full of family activities and artisans hawking their wares. So the beer garden stage was pretty empty though Lam’s voice rang through downtown as he song off kilter songs about unrequited love including one he wrote about knowing a marriage wouldn't work between a pair of newlyweds he knows.
He also played a few more straight ahead love songs.
