Laurence Nerbonne At Parc de la Cité

They say that all good things must come to an end, and I have found that to be true.  While I won't be lamenting the upcoming end of Summer, we here at the Head Office are a little sad that the Summer Concert series put on by the Ville de Longueuil and organized by Longueuil est Culture is wrapping up this weekend.  There was one last show to be seen under a sweltering late August sky.  Laurence Nerbonne was up on the stage with the difficult task of trying to get people to dance in near 40 Celcius heat.  To her credit, despite a lack or people willing to take her up on her offer, she did manage to get a couple of people to boogie.  Winner of a Juno in 201y for Best Francophone Album (XO) and of a SOCAN award in 2017 for her sone Réves d'Éte, the people who came out were treated to a show by a real pro.  Her latest album, OMG, was released in February of last year and she recently came back from a huge Eurpoean tour.  The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/1000sec, ISO 100 at 70mm.  Here are several more photographs of her performance.

If you would like to find out more about Laurence Nerbonne and her music, you can do so by following the link to her website.  For the final time, much thanks to the Ville de Longueuil and Longueuil est Culture for putting together a great Summer of music and allowing me to run loose at the various shows.  The Heir Apparent really liked going to her 'spectacles' this year with her little wooden camera.  She was even spotted a few concert goers yesterday who asked where her camera was.  Hopefully this will be an interest that continues to grow for her and you'll see the two of us snapping away next year.  See you then.
