David Gogo of Canada found himself stuck in a Toronto airport Friday night trying to fly into the U.S. so he could get to Duluth for his 6:45 p.m. penultimate act at Bayfront Blues Festival. The only problem is that Gogo didn’t have his passport, a requirement to fly into the U.S.
So after a frenzied night of customs hassles, Gogo eventually flew from Toronto to Thunder Bay and then rented a car and drove into the U.S. at Pigeon River since the passport rule isn’t in effect yet for driving into the U.S.
His extra guitars ended up in Detroit without him, but Gogo and his band made it to Duluth just fine. He even praised the breakfast he stopped for at a Grand Marais restaurant.
