Hillsburn at the Foundry
In a spur of the moment kind of evening, Anne and I decided to check out a band coming through Thunder Bay called Hillsburn. While I was doing work earlier in the day I saw that the Foundry was hosting them so I checked out some of the music on YouTube and really liked some of their songs. So, once 10:00pm rolled around we headed out to go see them live.

The Foundry is always a great place to see live music, and surprisingly, it has been a while since I've seen a band there. So it was good to get out. Even though we couldn't stay long we still were able to see about 5 songs. All I can say is they sounded amazing. They had so much energy and you could really feel the emotion in their music.
During their performance they even joked that most of the people in the crowd had never even heard about them but thanked everyone for coming out anyways. From what I can tell from the few songs we heard tonight, I'm confident they gained a few more fans.
To learn more about this Canadian band check out their website and be sure to watch some of their videos or even grab some of their music. It's always great to learn about yet another awesome Canadian talent.
Just Folkin' Around at the Foundry
Recently I have been doing some freelance work for The Walleye which simply an awesome local newspaper in case you haven't heard of it. This time around they asked me to photograph a few local performances at the Foundry this past Friday. The night's event was called Just Folkin' Around.

The first performer was Nick Sherman. This was my first time seeing him and after hearing him sing I would definitely check him out a again. He was then followed by another local artist in Tiina Flank. Her set was just as entertaining. The great thing about her performance is that most of the next band, The Moonshiners, joined her on stage. Once she was done, it was time for the main act which was indeed the Moonshiners. What was great about their set is that they took turns singing which really made for a unique and very energetic night.
I am very much looking forward to photographing another event soon. It's great that Thunder Bay has so much fantastic local talent. Be sure to check out The Foundry to see what events are coming up soon and please do get out there and support out local (and non local) talent.
Here are a few of my favourite photos from the night. They are all in black and white because... well.. concert photographs just look so much better in black and white.
