Sarah Vanderzon At Théâtre Beanfield

We're a little bit backed up on getting my concert photographs up here on The Old Blog.  I suppose we will catch up at some point, but this would be a good time to remind you that my concert photographs can be seen in a much more timely manner by visiting V13Media, which you can do by following the link.  If you'd like an even more direct route to my photographs, you can visit my personal page over there but using the following link.  On a chilly and grey early November evening, we could all use a little something to perk ourselves up.  Someone who I didn’t know was known for do so with their upbeat songs was our opening act at Théâtre Beanfield.  This was my very first Sarah Vanderzon experience and it was delightful.  Originally hailing from Montreal, she was already all smiles as she hit the stage.  The same stage, she explained, that she had seen her own musical heroes perform on.  With her awesomely named Vanderband backing her, Sarah Vanderzon pumped the crowd full of positive vibes.  She opened with her songs “Cheers”, which was a terrific way to break the ice.  It also got the audience in on the fun right away as they would repeat the chorus from the song.  “Hey Partner”, a track from her just released EP, Fortune Teller, followed before a great cover of Tracy Chapman's great song, “Give Me One Reason”. My personal favourite track on the evening was “Look Ahead”, a three-minute ode to not giving up on your dreams.  It really reached out to me.  Sarah Vanderzon already had a good collection of fans on hand for this concert, she certainly left with several more.  All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 while using various different shutter speeds, ISO settings and focal lengths.  Here are the rest of the photographs that I took of Sarah Vanderzon, and her Vanderband, while they performed on the Théâtre Beanfield stage.
