It was a rainy night on the streets of Longueuil last Thursday, but the clouds broke just in time for the music to begin at the big Fête Nationale festivities organized by the Ville de Longueuil and Longueuil est Culture. The first artist to hit the stage was Annie Blanchard. Bursting onto the scene as the female finalist in the 2005 edition of Star Académie, she has been sharing her brand of Country music ever since. She rose to fame on her interpretation of the song Évangéline, which went on to win the ADISQ award for Song of the Year in 2006. She has gone on to record 6 albums, the most recent of which, Hurricane, was released last year. She credited the crowd for chasing away the rain crowds, but one could argue that maybe it was the Sun that pushed them out in order to hear her sing. Both arguments have merit. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/1600sec, ISO 1600 at 24mm. Here are several more photographs of her performance.

Annie Blanchard to the the ultimate opening act. Not only did she get the crowd going, but she was able to conjure more favourable meteorological conditions as well. What can't this great performer do?
