Royal Wood @ Niagara Wine Festival

Before leaving for Newfoundland, I was super excited because I got to squeeze in one more Royal Wood concert at the Niagara Wine Festival in St. Catherine's, Ontario.  The forecast that day initially called for rain, but it turned into a lovely afternoon of sunshine and music.  Royal played two 45 minute sets with his 4 piece band, consisting of Dean Drouillard, Steve Zsirai and Mark Mariash.  I'd say most of the songs were from The Burning Bright (and the I Wish You Well EP), with a few older songs thrown in for good measure.  Here's some of my favourite shots:

The Beauties @ Junction Music Festival

Last weekend, I had the chance to see local Toronto band, The Beauties at The Junction Music Festival. It was my first time attending the festival, and it was really cool. They only closed a small portion of the street, where the main stage was located, but there was stuff happening in all the shops, restaurants and alcoves along Dundas St. West.  It looked like it was going to be a rainy night and I almost considered skipping the show, but thankfully the rain let up just as I was arriving to the stage area.  This band is super awesome, and I highly recommend checking them out!

Mudmen at Taste of the Kingsway

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to see one of my favourite bands from my university days, The Mudmen, at the Taste of the Kingsway street festival in Toronto.  The festival shuts down part of Bloor Street for a full weekend and features great food and music.  It was an awesome day to spend some time taking in live tunes.

Published on Wikipedia!

Just wanted to share a quick screenshot - I was asked if I would give Wikipedia the rights to use one of my photos of Danny Michel from the 2010 Outlaws and Gunslingers NXNE set, and I obliged! Here it is:

Herman's Hermits at the CNE

On August 30th, 2012, I went down to the CNE for the sole purpose of watching one of my favourite musicians perform.  I had previously seen Herman's Hermits back in April of 2009, in Clearwater Florida, and yet again, they did not disappoint!  Here are some of my favourite shots:
