Cameron’s first love has always been photography, with music and entertainment a very, very close second. His music career was a decade as a professional playing trumpet and keyboards in a touring show, enjoying the energy of live performance and audience engagement. The extensive travel provided the opportunity to photograph people and places across North America in the off-hours. Now the tables have turned, and the focus is on capturing and sharing the emotion and excitement of live music by turning his lens towards concerts and touring artists.
Juno nominated multi-platinum selling Montreal native singer/songwriter Bobby Bazini’s distinctive, soulful voice filled Kitchener’s ‘Centre in the Square’ theatre May 29. This was stop 14 of his cross-Canada 2019 tour following his Zermatt Unplugged Festival appearances in Switzerland in April.
Kudos to Centre in the Square for their ‘On Stage’ concept of making the venue intimate by turning the massive main theatre stage into a night club, complete with full-service bars stage left and right.
On the 10th stop of their tour promoting their new album, Rainier Fog, Alice In Chains showcased a great cross section of their body of work, playing more from their sophomore album Dirt than from the most recent. Still, some of the highlights of the show were the four selections from recently released Rainier Fog – “Never Fade”, the title track “Rainier Fog”, “Red Giant”, and then “The One You Know” as an encore number. Ultimately cuts from all six studio albums were included in the set, plus a couple from their MTV Unplugged session and Jar of Flies EP, so long-time followers will be very happy with the deep and broad set list.
Deerhurst Resort brought the Jim Cuddy Band back again late last year as the highlight of their holiday season special event series. The sold-out soirée featured top-notch catering for a variety of corporate parties, large and small, great dining for current resort guests (overwhelmingly Jim Cuddy fans), topped by a dynamic evening of great music by great musicians.
