Marilyne Léonard At Fête Nationale

Our first artist to hit the stage at the Parc St. Mark in Longueuil for the Fête Nationale celebrations was up and coming superstar Marilyne Léonard.  Still in her early 20s, Marilyne Leonard has already followed quite the path.  From appearing singing and learning the guitar in elementary school, being a quater-finalist on La Voix as a teenager, signing a first record contract just a few years later and being named one of Radio-Canada's Revelations of the Year for 2023, Marilyne Léonard's career trajectory is still looking up.  Her most recent album was her 2022 debut, Vie d'Ange, though she promised the crowd that a new album was in the works and that if we ever saw her perform again in Longueuil without a new album having already been released we would be allowed to boo her without mercy.  Somehow, I don't see that ever happening.  The young crowd was in love with her and her genre mixing performance.  You don't boo young talent, you anxiously await their next work of art.  The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/400sec, ISO 800 at 70mm and is maybe one of my favourite musician photographs I have taken.  I had noticed the lights behing Marilyne were rotating and managed to time my shot just right to where it looks like there are two little wings coming from her back.  A little angelic, but there is also a little devil in her as well.  The second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/4000sec, ISO 1600 at 70mm.  Here are several more photographs that I took of Marilyne Léonard while she performed on La Fête Nationale stage.

If you'd like to find out more about Marilyne Léonard and her music, you can do so by following the link to her website.  If you'd like to see the photographs that I took of the political speeches, as well as the performances by Dumas, Reney Ray and Bleu Jeans Bleu, you can do so by following the links once that the updates have been uploaded.  Much thanks to Line Tremblay and the Ville de Longueuil for giving me a pass to photograph the concerts, it is very much appreciated.  Marilyne Léonard has several shows lined up all over Québec this Summer, head out and see this promising young artist perform live.  It's a great show.
