I like to do a little bit of research into artists that I will be photographing. Especially if it is someone I don't know. A quick search for Boy Golden, who was playing at MTelus this past Thursday, led to these words. "Boy Golden has a purpose: enjoy each day and make good music. Founder and minister of The Church of Better Daze, he wants to help people seeking to improve on yesterday’s themes. His songs, like hymns, are hopeful, fresh and upbeat." I don't know about you, but I was immediately intrigued and wanted to learn more. Musically, there's a blues and country mix to his songs, but it's their upbeat messages about life that make him stand out. His most recent album, The Church of Better Daze, was released last year and this tour is in support of it. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/250sec, ISO 3200 at 50mm. Here are several more photographs of his performance.

If you'd like to find out more about Boy Golden and his music, you can do so by following the link. If you'd like to see the photographs that I took of Kris Ulrich and The Sheepdogs, you can do so by following the links. Sometimes in music, you come across some acts that are all show and no substance. While I had originally thought that would be the case here, I was more than happy to be proven wrong. Save me a pew at the Church of Better Daze as I am ready to convert. Check them out if they're in your town.
