'Open Air Afternoons’ Meridian Place Stage - Featuring Rachel Bobbitt starting at 2:00pm and
going until 4:00pm. Before reaching this particular iteration of her musical journey, Bobbitt made
a name for herself on Vine as a teenager in Nova Scotia, uploading covers of pop hits and
all‐time classics to the now‐defunct social media site. The young Canadian digested a wide
range of music, from Frank Ocean to Leonard Cohen, Elliott Smith to My Bloody Valentine, and
began incorporating those influences into original songs. But as her profile rose, Bobbitt found
herself overwhelmed rather than inspired.
