Canadian music photography, news and events.
I recently had the pleasure of doing a portrait shoot for The Dead Sparrows on their home turf at Pappa D’s Studios, where they are currently in the process of recording tunes for a new release. I’ve been a fan of The Dead Sparrows ever since seeing them at the first Canadian Indie Music Festival a couple of years ago, and was really excited when they contacted me about doing this shoot. The shot above…

Goo Goo Dolls is one of those bands that really brings me back to my high school days, cruising around town with friends in my Dad’s K-Car, listening to my Panasonic Shockwave CD player (which I still have!) over the FM transmitter. Yeah, that’s how I rolled. To be honest, they are also one of the bands that I haven’t listened to in years, which made going to this show all the better. It’s…

It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since the Barenaked Ladies released their first indie tape. I remember watching these guys on MuchMusic, performing in studio and of course their first video in Speakers Corner. I’ve been a fan ever since, but have never seen them perform live in concert. So when I had the chance to not only see them live, but also shoot the show I was ecstatic! To me the…

Add to that Kingston natives The Glorious Sons as a supporting act, and you’ve got yourself a rock concert….

The more I think about that, I’m just blown away by the fact that a band can have such staying power and still pack an arena with new and old fans. These guys have been going since about fifteen years before I was born, and…

When I initially got a message asking me if I’d like to come shoot at this years Whisky Rocks Showdown in London from my friends in Rye And Silence, I was psyched! Then I asked Google how long it takes to drive to London on a Thursday night… Not surprisingly it was about a four hour drive no matter what day it was. When I finished grappling with the idea of getting home at 5 am and…

Wowie Zowie, what a weekend. I spent at least a couple of hours of each of the past three days (in 30+ degree weather) at The Belleville Waterfront Festival and had an amazing time. But more on that later. The main event for me this weekend was definitely the Indie Music Fest. I was down at Zwick’s park all afternoon hanging out, listening to some amazing music and of course shooting pictures for the show. I…
