Adaline at the Peak Performance Project

Adaline had a very bad day yesterday, with a car accident at about six in the afternoon. Despite the setback she made it out to play a great set at the Red Room including a cover of Corey Hart’s Sunglasses at Night. Adaline was handing out sunglasses. I scored a pair, but gave them to someone else in the crowd.

More photos are available on Flickr. You can follow Adaline on twitter.

2010 Vancouver International Fringe Festival

Over the last ten days, in and amongst other things, I’ve been busy photographing the 2010 Vancouver International Fringe Festival as part of a talented team of photographers. It’s been an honour to spend time with the enthusiastic staff and volunteers who make the event possible, the performers who bring such amazing live theatre to Vancouver and the other photographers who are contributing to the Vancouver International Fringe Festival pool on Flickr.

Some, but not all, of the photos I took are in a Flickr collection.

Rob Feenie and Eric Foskett of the Cactus Club

Vancouver’s own Iron Chef Rob Feenie was at the Caffe Artigiano at Broadway and Cambie in Vancouver with Cactus Club executive chef Eric Foskett. They both very kindly allowed me to take their photo.

Yes Nice at the Red Room

Vancouver’s Yes Nice is one of the contenders in this year’s Peak Performance Project. Their show at the at the second showcase in Vancouver packed the floor and sent waves of energy off the stage that had the crowd in the palm of their hands. The set included a cover of the Lisa Lougheed classic Run With Us, also known as the theme from the Racoons cartoon show.

Aidan Knight at the Peak Performance Project Showcase

I’ve seen Aidan Knight before. He opened for Patrick Watson last year and was a part of the Malahat Revue tour that I saw twice. Jasper is one of the best tracks I’ve heard all year. When it gets in your head it sort of sticks around for a while in a good way. He’s an extremely talented singer/songwriter, and is one of the contenders in this year’s Peak Performance Project.

The second showcase for the project happened last night, and Aidan was the first person to hit the stage. He played a great set with a full band and it was clear that the audience was full of fans.

Towards the end of his set Aidan jumped off the stage and headed down into the audience with his band in tow. One of those moments when you’re just glad you had your camera in your hand and even when the results aren’t quite perfect they capture the moment nicely.

Tommy Chong at the Vancouver International Fringe Festival

Legendary comedian Tommy Chong attended the opening gala of the 2010 Vancouver International Fringe Festival and graciously allowed me to take this portrait of him as he explored the silent auction items.

Justin Townes Earle Performing “Rex’s Blues”

Rex’s Blues is an old song by one of the greatest singer/songwriter’s who’s ever lived, the legendary Townes Van Zandt. The song was well served when Justin Townes Earle covered it at Bellingham, Washington’s Wild Buffalo on Tuesday, September 7th.

This was shot in High Definition so make sure to view it at the best resolution you can.

Shot with a Canon 5D MkII and an EF 100mm Macro lens. The audio was recorded using the onboard microphone, which is somewhat limited.

Said the Whale at Live at Squamish

The members of Said the Whale were at We Are The City’s serf stage performance at the Live at Squamish Festival. They graciously gave me a few moments of their time for some shots on the Loggers Sports Grounds.

I wanted to use this machinery as a backdrop all day and was lucky to catch Cayne, David and Andy from We Are The City near it.

Live at Squamish’s First Edition Ends in Style

The inaugural Live at Squamish weekend ended in style tonight, including a guest appearance the festival’s champion Square the Bear on stage playing bass for Bad Religion. Good times.

I shot 1021 photos and will be sorting them out tomorrow. They’ll be up soon at Guttersnipe News.

Live at Squamish

Live at Squamish is a new festival set in the beautiful mountain town about an hour’s drive north of Vancouver. Sound check was today, which provided an opportunity to check out the site. The Stawamus Stage is nicely framed by the granite massif of the Stawamus Chief in the background, promising a beautiful sight as the sun set for the next two nights. Look for a complete set of photos and review at Guttersnipe after the weekend. With weather that’s suppose to hold up, the festival looks to be a good time.
