LP at The Danforth Music Hall - Concert Photos

LP won me over with her fantastic voice and emotive songs with her performance at Field Trip. Check out my photos of LP, along with all the other artists who performed that day, by clicking here. I was honoured to cover her show at Toronto's Danforth Music Hall back in February.

If you listen to LP's albums and performances on YouTube and think, wow, she has an amazing voice and delivery, you have to go and see her live. All that magic in LP's songs, music and vocal style gets intensified at least a hundred times over when she's on stage. And her fans do not hold back one bit in showing her their love.

I loved LP's set, including her cover of Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire" in the middle of "No Witness", and amazing tunes like "When We're High", "Girls Go Wild", "Recovery", "Other People" and a super-highlight of encore tune "Lost on You".

LP also told some great stories, including telling us about a dream where KD Lang was reciting a lyric from "Girls Gone Wild".

And please check out my photos and the music of opener (and LP's fiancé) Lauren Ruth Ward by clicking here.

Field Trip 2017: Day 2 - Concert Photos

Another Field Trip has come to an end and what an amazing festival it was. These are my photos from Day 2. Click here to check out my pics from Day 1.

Phoenix brought their perfectly crafted and studio-quality sound to the main stage to headline the festival. They mixed in some brand new tunes along with their classics.

Feist was my main attraction for Sunday. She and the band played lots of songs from her new album Pleasure. Besides the new tunes, highlights for me included a solo acoustic "Mushaboom", along with "How Come You Never Go There", "My Moon My Man", "Sealion", "I Feel It All and "1234".

Badbadnotgood do what they do better than anyone; bring jazz to an indie rock festival.

Thundercat brought us all on his bass-led jazz odyssey.

James Vincent McMorrow and his band played us his emotive and soulful tunes.

Timber Timbre don't want photos of them playing their dark adventurous songs.

Hannah Georgas performed beautiful tunes from a fan of the fest who was honoured to be on stage for this one.

LP is that artist that most people proclaimed as a huge star in the making that we shouldn't miss. Well, she and the band lived up to the hype did not disappoint. LP plays solid, well-crafted rock that allows her voice and message to take centre stage. She attracted a really big side stage crowd.

I don't even know what to call the music that the duo called Tennyson produces. It's got tons of 70s rock and yacht rock sonic touchpoints with some 80s and 90s fusion thrown in, but the jam-heavy grooves and overall vibe is truly original. I loved listening to this cool set as the sun shone and the puddles tried to dry up.

Tobi entertained with a set that varied from chill hip-hop vibes to full on dance jams.

Nefe and her band played roots/bluesey soulful rock tunes with good grooves and emotional ballads.

Jaunt got things started with mellow sounds with big choruses and guitars.
