Anna Of The North At Studio TD

I originally found my way to concert photography because I wanted to have photographs of the bands that I like.  I always have my eyes open for concert listing, looking for band that I listen to, wanting to know when they will be coming to town.  However, sometimes a little something else seems to cause  my Spidey Sense to tingle and draws in my attention.  Such was the case with Anna of the North.  Maybe it was all of those years watching The Wizard of Oz that taught we that good things come from the North, but I was drawn to her concert.  There weren't any ruby slippers on display, but Anna of the North spun her musical spell over the crowd at Le Studio TD on Thursday night.  Coming to us from her native Norway, Anna of the North's music has been described as soft, soul-barring techno-pop and has three albums to her name, the latest being Crazy Life, which was released in November of last year, but also has a Deluxe version set to be released in April.  A small techincal snafu led to a little hitch at the beginning of the show, but being a season veteran of the stage, she took it in stride, giving the fans a more stripped down acoustic version of her hit song Lovers before the sound issues could be taken care of.  Nobody was left disappointed and the show rolled on as they crowd danced and sang along with Anna of the North as everyone made their way down a Yellow Brick Road of musical goodness.  The first two photographs were taken at f/3.2, 1/60sec, ISO 10000 at 24mm.  Here are several more photographs that I took of her performance.
