We were very honoured to have had James Cotton, “a true living legend of the blues”, as our international festival ambassador for over 8 years. Our hearts and souls feel the loss of a dear friend who we considered a family member. Over the years Cotton had help create a lot of exposure around the world for our festival and had invited a lot of his legendary friends to come perform on our stage. We were very proud to make him an honorary Nova Scotian at our 10th year anniversary in 2014 and I know he was very proud to be one of us. Words are hard to come by to express the sadness that we feel and can only say that we will always remember with great fondness and appreciation the years he had spent with us here in Nova Scotia.
