O-Town Hoedown

The O-Town Hoedown was an annual country music concert series that began in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 2007. The event was owned and organized by Ottawa country singer Lefty McRighty.[1] Performing artists were typically independent and unsigned, with the majority being local. O-Town Hoedown used the term "alt-whatever country music" to define the styles of music it featured, including alternative country, bluegrass, rockabilly, psychobilly, cowpunk, indie folk, outlaw country and neotraditional country.[2][3]

Format

The O-Town Hoedown took place over 9–10 days in early fall. Events were held at various small and medium-sized concert venues in Ottawa, similar to concert series such as South by Southwest and Canadian Music Week, with the exception that only one event was scheduled per day.
