This event marks Ottawa Festival Network's 30th anniversary in which we'll celebrate three decades of championing festivals and the people behind them.

The Hoarse Men were born the old-fashioned way: around a campfire in Quebec, where Jim (rhythm guitar/vocals) and John (lead guitar/vocals) crossed paths more than two decades ago. What started as friends playing for the love of it grew into a fixture at charity events and backyard parties across the Ottawa–Gatineau region, with plenty of familiar faces joining along the way.

Today, the founding duo is joined by Danny (bass), JP (drums/vocals), Michael (lead vocals), and Dwayne (keyboards). With several lead vocalists in the mix, The Hoarse Men comfortably roam through rock, blues, and country classics. At the heart of it all, the goal hasn't changed: make good music, share a few laughs, and play for good friends and great causes.

The band will play two sets after the OFN AGM.
