Post Malone | Montreal Concert Photographer | Pierre B Photo

How do you classify an artist such as who has a stage name that was created with an online rap name generator? To say that Austin Richard Post (aka Post Malone) is a rapper isn’t enough. Posty kind of melds hip hop with country with rock and throws in a bunch of tracks while singing.… Continue reading Post Malone | Montreal Concert Photographer | Pierre B Photo

Jonas Brothers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

After a little over 6 years of being officially split, the Jonas Brothers finally decided to tour together once again. The once Disney stars from the mid 2000s had some individual solo efforts over the years, but judging by the loud screams at Montreal’s Bell Centre, the fans were just a wee bit happy to… Continue reading Jonas Brothers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

The Chainsmokers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

The pop EDM duo The Chainsmokers seem to come to the city at least once a year, and each and every time, the place is turned into a party. From headlining IleSoniq last year, a sold out show in 2017, The Chainsmokers were back at the Bell Centre for their World War Joy tour. The… Continue reading The Chainsmokers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

Backstreet Boys | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

One of the original boy bands (along with NKOTB), Backstreet Boys still put on an amazing show. Call it a nostalgia show if you want, the 5 boys – we should call them men as their ages range from 39 to 47 – typically play Montreal two nights in a row. Sadly, many fans were… Continue reading Backstreet Boys | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

Mumford & Sons | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

I had not been more excited to photograph a show like I was for Mumford last night. You would think after 10 years and nearly 1500 bands that the flame would dim… well, it doesn’t. The story I remember when I discovered Mumford & Sons back in 2012. I was going through a rough patch… Continue reading Mumford & Sons | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

Elton John | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

Sir Elton Hercules John. Is there anyone who doesn’t know that name? A staple of the rock world since 1962. The 71 year old has recently embarked on a multi-year final tour, Farewell Yellow Brick Road. 300 shows to mark the end of such an amazing career, with so many inspirational songs. The Rocket Man… Continue reading Elton John | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

Judas Priest | Bell Centre | Montreal Music Photographer

Legends of metal Judas Priest hit up the Bell Centre in late August, on a double bill with famed rock band Deep Purple.  What is there to be said about Judas Priest that hasn’t been said before?  They have been around for nearly 50 years.  They are one of the most popular metal bands still… Continue reading Judas Priest | Bell Centre | Montreal Music Photographer

Radiohead | Centre Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer

Radiohead have headlined an arena show 2-3 times in the last 20 years in the city.  Usually preferring to be outdoors at Les Francofolies, Osheaga or just themselves at Parc Jean-Drapeau, fans were in for the full Radiohead effect in their first of two sold out nights at Montreal’s Bell Centre. The fans in the… Continue reading Radiohead | Centre Bell | Montreal Concert Photographer

Vance Joy | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer

Talk about a career on the rise… Australian singer / songwriter Vance Joy brought his Nation of Two tour to the Bell Centre stage last night, and even if this was my 5th time photographing Vance in the last 4-5 years, and he has now moved from smaller venues to arenas, the guy still keeps… Continue reading Vance Joy | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer

U2 iNNOCENCE & eXPERIENCE 2 | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

What is there left to say about a legendary band like U2 ?? They have been a staple for many generations and they keep putting out new songs and keep getting new fans. Last night was the first of two shows (sold out I believe) at Montreal’s Bell Centre, and even if this is their… Continue reading U2 iNNOCENCE & eXPERIENCE 2 | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

Demi Lovato | Centre Bell | Montreal Event Photographer

Reigning pop queen Demi Lovato took the stage at Montreal’s Bell Centre on March 17 2018. Almost 10 years since her first number 1 album, I find it great that Demi is sending out a message during her tour about supporting mental health, herself being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2010. I walked in to… Continue reading Demi Lovato | Centre Bell | Montreal Event Photographer

Imagine Dragons | Bell Centre | Montreal Photographer

American rock band Imagine Dragons were in town late October, playing in front of some pretty feverish fans at Montreal’s Bell Centre.  They have been around for almost ten years, but really gained exposure back in 2012 with the release of their first studio album… and their popularity just keeps rising.  From being named Breakthrough… Continue reading Imagine Dragons | Bell Centre | Montreal Photographer

Roger Waters | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

  It is a rare chance to get to photograph an artist who has shaped an industry.  Someone who has had their music play as the soundtrack to many people’s life.  So getting the go to photograph Roger Waters, founder of Pink Floyd, at Montreal’s Bell Centre on the first of his three nights was… Continue reading Roger Waters | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

Arcade Fire | Centre Bell | Montreal Event Photographer

Just shy of 15,000 fans were present and excited to see hometowners Arcade Fire on their second stop of their Everything Now tour.  An original stage setup, where there is a boxing ring in the middle of the arena, gave fans from all sides loads to see.  Somewhat impressive visuals added to the moment.  Fans… Continue reading Arcade Fire | Centre Bell | Montreal Event Photographer

Depeche Mode | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

I think the best testiment to a band’s importance in any music scene is how many different age groups their music can touch. When someone in their mid 20s can say that Depeche Mode  impacted their youth, and then someone in their mid 30s says the same thing, and again in their mid 40s (and… Continue reading Depeche Mode | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

Red Hot Chili Peppers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

I can check another group of my youth of my list of band’s to photograph… the Red Hot Chili Peppers were in town a few nights ago and I was one of the lucky 6 to be in the pit to photograph them. The Bell Centre seemed full, with people up in the stands all… Continue reading Red Hot Chili Peppers | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

The Chainsmokers | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer

How should we label a group like The Chainsmokers?  They are 2 DJ Producers.  They are EDM.  But they are also more accessible, pop-EDM?  Regardless how you want to classify them, seeing The Chainsmokers live is an intense experience.  I do not remember feeling so much bass throughout my body than when the show was… Continue reading The Chainsmokers | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer

Bastille | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer

Closing off a pretty busy month for concerts in Montreal (for me at least, still a bunch going on), British indie pop group Bastille played in front of a very happy crowd at the Bell Centre.  The city is warming up pretty well to the group’s funky tunes, as they seem to regularly come to… Continue reading Bastille | Bell Centre | Montreal Event Photographer

Billy Talent | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer

There are bands that are always a sure bet live, and Canada’s Billy Talent is one of them.  Even though they formed waaay back in 1993, their music still stays totally relevant and they keep packing in the crowd at their shows. Their current Afraid of Heights tour was at Montreal’s Bell Centre last night,… Continue reading Billy Talent | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
