From opening for Young the Giant in 2014, playing Osheaga that same year and then again coming back to the Metropolis, back to the Virgin Radio Red Room and all the way up to the Bell Centre.. I think I’ve photographed every Vance Joy show in the city over the last 10 years except his… Continue reading Vance Joy | MTelus | 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
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
The Jim Cuddy Band | Corona Theatre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Jim Cuddy had a 2 night set at Montreal’s Corona Theatre closing off his latest album tour, Constellation. We usually associate Jim Cuddy with Blue Rodeo, but he has also put out 4 solo albums over the years. A true Canadian music icon, the fans were in for a treat during the sold out shows.… Continue reading The Jim Cuddy Band | Corona Theatre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Sweet Roger | Artist Portraits | Montreal Portrait Photographer
As much as studio sessions can be fun, there is nothing like booking a few hours and heading out with someone to make some portraits… walking the streets (always with a certain plan of course), making images with what inspires us. And that was the case a few weeks ago with David Rozon, the singer/songwriter… Continue reading Sweet Roger | Artist Portraits | Montreal Portrait Photographer
City and Colour | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
If I had to use just one word to describe a City and Colour show, it would be “emotion”. The obvious is lead singer Dallas Green’s voice, smooth, calm, with a quiet comfort behind it. The other aspect of the show that just exudes emotion are the lights. And everything was on point last night… Continue reading City and Colour | Bell Centre | Montreal Concert Photographer
Vance Joy | Virgin Radio Red Room | Montreal Concert Photographer
Humble, somewhat shy, big smile and a killer, honest voice. That pretty much sums up Vance Joy for me. It is pretty cool to see the career of an artist develop over just a few years and how talent, and being at the right place, can catapult someone to stardom. I missed Vance’s 3 sold… Continue reading Vance Joy | Virgin Radio Red Room | Montreal Concert Photographer
The rise of Vance Joy | Metropolis | Montreal Concert Photographer
For the third time in 7 months, Vance Joy was on a Montreal stage. I first saw the Australian singer/songwriter and his folky songs when he opened for Young the Giant back in March 2014. He then played an early set at Osheaga in 2014 on the stage I was covering for the festival and… Continue reading The rise of Vance Joy | Metropolis | Montreal Concert Photographer
City and Colour | Bell Centre
There are some shows you have to shoot and some shows you want to shoot. City and Colour is a show I wanted to shoot. Not because the band is ultra energetic on stage, to the contrary, Dallas Green is very static right behind his mic, but because I’ve shot them before and haven’t be… Continue reading City and Colour | Bell Centre
James Vincent McMorrow | Club Soda | Montreal Concert Photographer
Irish folk sensation James Vincent McMorrow was in town last night in front of a very sold out Club Soda. By very sold out I mean people were on the Facebook event all day asking for tickets and even standing in front asking if anyone had extra tickets… even the scalpers got to go home… Continue reading James Vincent McMorrow | Club Soda | Montreal Concert Photographer
Jake Bugg | Metropolis | Montreal Concert Photographer
About time I get the new year started with some shows! Jake Bugg was on stage at the Metropolis tonight.
Father John Misty | VM Corona Theatre | Montreal Concert Photographer
A man and his guitar. That is sometimes all that is needed for a great night of music. Folk singer Father John Misty was at Montreal’s VM Corona Theatre tonight on a solo tour. A pretty intimate affair in front of a very loving audience. The lighting was very simple, not much on stage other… Continue reading Father John Misty | VM Corona Theatre | Montreal Concert Photographer
The Avett Brothers | Metropolis | Montreal Music Photographer
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… Continue reading The Avett Brothers | Metropolis | Montreal Music Photographer
A Day at Osheaga | Parc Jean Drapeau | Montreal Show Photography
This year’s Osheaga was slightly different for me, photography wise. The festival is way bigger than it has ever been, and as the promoter likes to keep the photo pit not too cluttered, this means that bigger national and international medias got the pit passes that we little local guys used to get. What… Continue reading A Day at Osheaga | Parc Jean Drapeau | Montreal Show Photography
