Five Roses At Studio TD

It's always nice to get the chance to photograph a band for a second time.  My first opportunity to photograph Five Roses was while they were playing a outdoor concert in Greenfield Park to celebrate Canada Day back in 2019.  They had a couple of original songs back then, but filled the rest of their set with cover versions of other popular Country songs.  Fast forward a few years and our paths crossed again at Le Studio TD where they were the opening act for an evening of Country fun.  A lot has happened since I last saw them.  They signed on with a major music label back in 2021, released a full-length album, Jukebox Vibrations, last Summer and have just released a new single, Sweetheart  Of Summer which has also been playing on the radio over at The Day Job, so things must be headed in the right direction.  Being from Montreal, they had filled the Studio TD before hitting the stage, always a pretty good accomplishment for an 'opening act'.  There is nothing 'opening act' about this duo though.  Their songs are catchy and they put on an excellent performance.  The energy in the room was off the charts and you could see it just continue to build during their set.  They definitely had a home turf advantage, but they didn't just ride off of the enthusiasm of the crowd, they gave back just as much as the crowd was giving.  It won't be long until they're headlining these show. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/320sec, ISO 3200 at 24mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/80sec, ISO 1600 at 24mm.  Here are several more photographs that I took of their performance.

If you'd like to find out more about Five Roses, you can do so by following the link to their website.  If you'd like to see the photographs that I took of Tebey who performed later that night, you can do so by following the link.  Not only were Five Roses very fan friendly, but they were very photographer friendly as well.  Several time during my three songs the took the time to either look my way and even pose a little for my shots.  That little touch is very appreciated.  I was already a fan before, but they're aces in my book.  Check them out.
