The headliner Wednesday night at the MTelus in Montreal was one of the bigger names in hard rock today, Halestorm. Fronted by the powerful take no prisoners voice of Lzzy Hale, the group said they were glad to be back in Montreal to a crowd that was obviously very happy to have them back. In my previous post, I mentioned how the fun thing about these shows with several bands is getting to find bands you didn't really know much about. That was the case for me back in 2013 when I saw Halestorm for the first time when they played at Heavy MTL. I saw them again when they visited back in 2016 and was very happy to get a photo pass to shoot the show on their stop in town. They were touring the 
release of their album Vicious, which was released in July of 2018, and peppered their set with a mix of new and older songs. Their song Uncomfortable, was nominated this year for a Grammy Award for best Rock Performance. An award they previously won back in 2013 when it was called Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. Fun Fact: That makes Halestorm the first Grammy Award winner I have ever had the honour of photographing. I guess I get to put an 'x' next to that on the checklist. The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/320sec, ISO 1600 at 51mm and the second photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/1250sec, ISO 1600 at 51mm. Here are a few more that I took during their set.

Whew! What a night! For those of you who haven't been following along as these updates were going up, you can see the photo sets for Beasto Blanco and Palaye Royale, who opened the show, by following the respective links. A quick thank-you to the fine security staff at MTelus for keeping their eyes open while mine were peeled on the stage and a huge thank-you to Mr. Gwyther Bultman from In De Goot Management who was very helpful in getting my camera and I into the building. It was a great night of music and photography, who could ask for anything more. You can find out more about Halestorm and their music by visiting their website.
