2013 Tim Horton’s Southside Shuffle Blues & Jazz Festival

The 2013 edition of the Tim Horton’s sponsored Southside Shuffle has come and gone. I managed to get there on the last day of the weekend long event, and took in a few of the bands performing in Memorial Park, Port Credit. Four separate stages where set up, with bands timed so as to not interfere too much with their neighbors.

Here are a few selections, with a link to the full gallery of photos here.
