Matt Lang At Théâtre Beanfield

The Liquored Up Tour hit the MTelus in Montreal last week featuring three of Canada's biggest Country music stars.  One of them is a performer that you've already seen featured here a few times in the past., Matt Lang.  In fact, it was a Matt Lang show in Greenfield Park on Canada Day back in 2018 that kind of led me further down this concert photography path.  Matt Lang was the headline performer on that night and I had so much fun shooting his performance from the crowd that I began to think that maybe there might be a way for me to get into that magical area known as the photo pit.  Five months later, I was 'officially' shooting my first concert and now six years later, I've shot close to 200 concerts since that day.  But, enough about me.  Since that day six years ago, a lot has changed for me, but for Matt Lang as well.  He has released three full length albums, the most recent of which, Moonlight Sessions, a covers album of some of his favourite Country music songs, was released last June.  Matt Lang's status as the Country King of Québec is not only not in doubt, but is also more than earned.  A Matt Lang performance is a guaranteed good time as I have yet to witness a bad show.  While he wasn't up on the stage with his usual band, that didn't stop the good times from once again rolling.  A fourth album, All Night Longer, is set to be released in May and the title track from the album was met with great enthusiasm from the home-crowd faithful.  They certainly can't wait for the new album to arrive, and who can blame them.  The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/200sec, ISO 4000 at 59mm and the second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/1250sec, ISO 4000 at 38mm.  Here are several more photographs of Matt Lang on stage.
