Sara Dufour At Théâtre Corona

As we exit yet another wave of COVID, this time the gap between shows was but a mere three months.  But a stitch in time compared to the 20 month gap between shows last year.  I certainly can't think of a better artist to have ended this latest dry spell than Sara Dufour.  She hit the Théâtre Corona stage like a ball of energy and beamed positive energy towards the crowd right from the opening note.  Within mere seconds, all of the real world weight of the last three months had been magically lifted by her bounding positivity.  The wild banter in between songs would have been worth the price of admission on its own, but the songs really reached out and grabbed the audience.  I guess she could be described as a fireplug of energy holding a guitar.  Her songs come from personal experience, thus the great stories that she has about them.  Her most recent album, Sara Dufour, was released in 2019, but there is sure to be some new music from her coming soon.  The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/320sec, ISO 3200 at 70mm.  Here are several more that I took during her performance.

As the crowd made their way out of the building after the final notes were played, there was only smiles and happiness to be seen.  Sara Dufour had invited us to share a little bit of her world through her songs, and in doing so, for a few hours, made our worlds a bit of a happier place.  You can follow the link to see the photographs that I took of Cayenne, who opened the show.  Much thanks to Karl-Emmanuel Picard of District 7 Productions for getting me a photo pass for the show.  If you'd like to find out more about Sara Dufour and her music, you can do so by following the link to her website.
