Riverfest Elora 2023: A compendium of posts - Concert Photos

Riverfest Elora is my favourite summer music festival. It combines artists I love with new artists that I've never heard of that find a permanent spot in my music library. The vibe of the festival is chill and inviting, friendly and fun.

The 2023 edition of the festival is also their lucky 13th festival, and my sixth. And there wasn't a drop of rain during the festival!

Thanks to the Riverfest Elora team for curating and orchestrating an amazing weekend of music, fun, food and friends. And, of course, for granting me access to capture the images of the festival performers.

Follow the links below to individual posts on each artist that I covered.

Shred Kelly kicked things off for Riverfest Elora 2023 on the main stage.

They put on a fun, high energy show that got the day started off right! A good crowd came out to support the band and the festival on an unseasonably cold August night.

I've caught a couple of Shred Kelly shows before. Take a peek at my coverage of their set at Riverfest in 2017 and at the Horseshoe in 2016.

We need the collective joy of music and music festivals more now than ever. In many ways, we live in the best time in human history. In other ways, the world's as messed up as it's ever been and some are even doubling-down on the crazy. Music brings me joy, it uplifts my soul and it fills me with hope and happiness. I try to capture the mood and fun of a show with my photography and bring it to you, patient readers and viewers of this site. Festivals are a great way to collect with like-minded humans, listen so some of our favourite music, eat some great food, enjoy some weather and discover some new favourite artists.

This post is a collection of links to all the posts from this year's Riverfest Elora. I hope you'll spend some time browsing through the posts, checking out the photos and listening to the music. I hope it'll bring you back to the festival, or make you wish you were there and hopefully it'll turn you on to some great new music.

Thanks goes to everyone involved in Riverfest Elora for the joy and happiness you bring each year. I'm already counting down to next year and can't wait to see what you put together in terms of another fantastic line-up and amazing vibes.

Riverfest Elora 2017: Shred Kelly - Concert Pictures

Fernie, BC's Shred Kelly lit up the main stage of Riverfest Elora 2017 with their amazing high-energy and mood-elevating tunes. I don't think anyone cared about the rain with Shred Kelly's vibes flowing through their veins.

I saw this band open for Strumbellas at The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern's 68th birthday celebrations back in 2015. Those photos are here. I came away from that show thoroughly impressed with the band's music, on-stage energy and positive electricity. This show only cemented those feelings.

Check out their tunes and don't miss them next time they're playing live near you:

"Archipelago"

"Sing to the Night"

"The Bear"

"New Black"

"Going Sideways"

I loved my time at Bissell Park in Elora Ontario last August. Riverfest Elora was a fantastically run and curated festival with an amazing crowd of music lovers, incredible bands, great food and an idlic location. You can check out all the pics of all the bands and all my coverage from 2016 here.

This year's festival looks just as good, if not better, with amazing artists like MGMT, Monster Truck, Gogol Bordello, Mother Mother, K.Flay, Sloan, The Dirty Nil, Darcys, Shred Kelly, Little Scream and many that are sure to become new favourites as I experience them.

Here are some photos of some of the artists playing this year's Riverfest that I've captured in the past, plus some of my favourite shots from last year. Do yourself a favour and don't miss this great festival. All the details are here.
