Leadville Union At Longueuil Ribfest

We're really behind the times here on the old blog.  A computer meltdown at the beginning of the month and a very busy concert shooting schedule has left this place feeling a little abandoned.  The biggest victims in this have been my good friends at the Longueuil Ribfest who have been waiting a few weeks to see the photographs that I took during their concerts.  So, we'll leave the writing to a minimum and get as much out here as possible.  Leadville Union was pulling double duty this year.  I missed their Friday night appearance, so I was super happy to learn that a Sunday show as on the schedule as well.  I once again took advantage of my position to bring the Heir Apparent and Crown Prince in to the pit with me during their set.  Much thanks to the band for not only allowing it, but also smiling for their 'cameras'.  Guitarist and vocalist Trev Brunton rocks the stage from first to last note, and other vocalist Maxyme Bouchard keeps getting better every time I hear her.  The band was joined on this stage by Mark Christiano and #1 Ribfest personality Ozzie Levesque for a couple of songs and it was terrific.  They played a great set of rock and country covers that were just as tasty as the ribs that were being served on site.  Leadville Union always gives there all and puts on a show that rocks everyone out of their seats.  If you have to choose between the band or the ribs, chose the band.  You're stomach will forgive you. All of the photographs were taken at f/3.2 while using various different shutter speeds, ISO settings and focal lengths.  Here are the photographs that I took of Leadville Union while they performed at the Longueuil Ribfest.
