Lambton County’s Cabin Fever have kicked off the final night of the Hard Oil Music Festival.

There was some concern about the weather; the gates opened a half hour later than normal. But the clouds cleared away in time for the music to begin. Born Riot hit the stage after The Cabin Fever Band, however there was a rain delay as lightning and rain moved through the area. Treble Charger now taking the stage after the rain delay opening for the headliner Sam Roberts Band.

While the crowd had to wait, they were just as enthusiastic as the band took the stage. The alt-rock band has been nominated for multiple Junos.

Cabin Fever, which includes LCCVI Music Teacher Jessica McKay, kicked off the third night of the Hard Oil Music Festival Saturday.
