The Avett Brothers (yes, they are actually brothers) were at the Montreal Metropolis tonight in front of a somewhat sparse crowd.  Tables and chairs on part of the floor?  Didn’t stop the fans from having a great time though.   No photo pit to shoot from, so had to wiggle through the crowd and get creative with areas to shoot from to get some diversity.

Here are a few preview images of the show, more to come (with a full review) up at Cornershop Studios!

Oh, and what’s it like shooting without a photo pit when the band encourages audience clapping?  You get lots of these 😉
