The Reklaws steal day two with an emotional, heart filled performance in Quebec
Rain, rain and more rain was the story of the day on Saturday at Festival Country Lotbinière. Of course much of the area near the front of the stage, including our media pit, had turned into mud by the end of the show on Friday…by yesterday it was more like quick sand that fed on an endless supply of shoes, boots and the occasional small child (just kidding no children were eaten by the mud monster at this festival). Did anyone care? No because the music made us all forget that we were slowly sinking up to our knees in mud.
The Wilkinsons take enthusiastic Brockville crowd on trip down memory lane
I first saw Amanda, Tyler and Steve, aka the Wilkinson’s, live 23 years ago this summer at the North Bay Heritage Festival. We were all kids back then, especially so for Amanda and Tyler. The trio has gone through a number of iterations over the years including a run as duo, Small Town Pistols featuring just Amanda and Tyler, as well as a solo run for Amanda but they always seem to find their way back to the stage as a family and when they do it’s nothing short of magic and last night was no exception.
Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker – The End
USS (Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker) came through Edmonton on June 3rd, 2022, and played their last show at Midway in part of their “Final FINAL Freakquency Tour”. I was lucky enough to shoot them when they played Together Again in the summer of 2021; I was not going to miss a chance to photograph them a second time.
Primus conjure the spirit of Rush in Vancouver
Progressive rock lovers of all ages congregated at Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre on Sunday evening to see prolific funksters, Primus.

Not many may see the connection between these two legendary bands, but if you listen close enough you can find the undeniable similarities and the immense influence on had on the other. This is why Claypool felt it fitting to tour in tribute to his 70’s predecessors, performing his meticulously practiced renditions of Rush’s quintessential album A Farewell To Kings
