Rise Against @ CITY FOLK
Rise Against took the stage by storm at Ottawa’s City Folk Festival. Just three songs in, Tim jumped into the crowd. Crowd surfing, holding hands with Ottawa locals who waited hours and hours for front row views. Reminding everyone that Rise Against has been, and still is, for the people. Feeling the ground move under ones feet from the fans jumping in unison to their iconic songs, the night was none other than a punk rock movement. Chicago roots were shouted out as well as gratitude for being able to still perform to their fans for 20 some odd years. The band played on as their fans recited iconic choruses and lyrics with them. Extending songs, such as Help is on the Way and Ready to Fall, the show felt like an emotional release as the crowd sang their hearts out to each word. Rise Against showed us how much they missed Ottawa and boy was Ottawa happy they were back, once more.. to Swing Life Away together.
