PHOTOS: Cityfolk 2017 wows crowds at Lansdowne Park

Danielle Allard’s already broken into the telephone hold music market, but she’s really got her eyes set on the elevator music racket (pun not intended.)

Or so she joked, in a reference to city hall’s local hold music efforts, as the Ottawa musician wrapped up her 3 p.m. performance on Saturday at the City Stage during day four of Cityfolk 2017.

The Great Lawn of Lansdowne Park simmered in the September heat as temperatures climbed to a high of 27 degrees by 2 p.m., hot enough to cause Allard to acknowledge her black dress was perhaps not a wise choice of attire.

Concertgoers also gathered inside the Aberdeen Pavilion Saturday for a full slate of performers, including Common Deer, an orchestral indie band from Toronto.

A schedule for final performances on Sunday are available at cityfolkfestival.com . _ Photos by Devyn Barrie/OttawaStart.com _ [caption id=“attachment_79335” align=“aligncenter” width=“1000”]

Allard’s final song was _ Little Demons _ , which is played on the city’s telephone hold music, she told the audience.[/caption]
