After an extended absence, I found myself right back at the cozy Le Studio TD for a double bill of some of the best female voices that call Canada home. Opening the show was Fionn, a pair of soulful young songstresses from Vancouver. Twin sisters Breanne and Alana have followed the path set by their musical parents. They describe their sound as being folk-pop with the occasional Celtic twist, a mix that they have perfected. It was their first visit to Montreal, a city that they said they couldn’t wait to visit. After listening to some small talk amongst the crowd, nobody seemed real familiar with them before they hit the stage, but they had made a room full of new friends and fans by the time the final note had been played. Their most recent album, ‘I Might Start Smoking’ was released last year and is an album full of youthful experience and life. Truthful and real, the songs could double as diary entries. That authenticity in their songs and the honesty of their performance has won Fionn a great deal of followers. Judging by the line at their merch table after they performed, Fionn earned themselves a great deal more before the night had come to an end. Though not one of their own, their cover of The Cranberries hit song ‘Dreams’ shows off their strengths. Four minutes of terrific musicianship and melodic vocals. This was a great discovery and I can’t wait to hear more. All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 while using various different shutter speeds, ISO setting and focal lengths. Here are the rest of the photographs that I took of Fionn while they were performing on the Le Studio TD stage.
If you would like to find out more about Fionn and their music, you can do so by following the link to their website. If you would like to see the photographs that I took of JJ Wilde, who performed later that night, you can do so by following the link. Fionn put on one heck of a performance, and after doing a little research, I have yet to find one negative review of their shows. Be sure to check them out when they hit a stage near you.
