Maude Audet At Parc Saint-Mark

Here's a shocking headline, it has been a terrible year.  Big shocker, I know.  Just about everything that everyone enjoys has been put on the back-burner.  In my case, one of the things that I enjoy the most is photographing concerts.  I managed to squeeze a few in before 'The Plague', as my father puts it, but it was a very quiet Spring and Summer with things not looking any better for the Fall.  With that in mind, I try to get out anytime I hear about a local park concert to snap a few photographs.  This week, the god folks at Théâtre de la Ville de Longueuil and Longueuil est Culture presented a small concert by Maude Audet in Parc Saint-Marc.  Much like the Jerome 50 show that I photographed a few weeks back (check out the photographs by following the link), the stage was the bed of a pick-up truck that was rolled into the park.  An already accomplished singer-singwriter, she was a finalist for an ADISQ award for Alertnative Album of the Year in 2018 and won Folk Album of the Year from GAMIQ in 2016, she performed some of her best known songs, and a handful from her most recent album, Tu Ne Mourras Pas, which was released in February of this year.  Due to the current pandemic, the crowd was very socially distanced, but still close enough to make for a nice intimate little performance in the park.  The first photograph was taken at f/4, 1/500sec, ISO 3200 at 150mm and the second photograph was taken at f/4, 1/400sec, ISO 3200 at 150mm.  Here are a few more photographs that I took of her performance.

A good time was certainly had by all.  If you'd like to find out more about Maude Audet and her music, follow the link to her website for more information.  Will there be any more concerts this year?  Only time will tell.
