Getting back into the swing of things after the Thanksgiving long weekend couldn't have been any better.

Metallica Brings Explosive Excitement and Metal Madness to Edmonton on Final Day of Hardwired World Tour - August 16, 2017

PHOTOGRAPHED FOR VUE WEEKLY 

---

Last night's show at Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium was easily a check off of the top of my bucket list. One of the biggest nights of my career as a concert photographer, and I couldn't have been more excited about it. I've been dying to have the one and only Metallica in front of my lens for years, and at last, it happened in Commonwealth Stadium last night, it feels so surreal to have come and gone so quickly. I'm truly at a loss for words when it comes to describing my time spent shooting a show of this magnitude, and with such sentimental value to me.


Adding a little sugar to the mix, Gojira and Avenged Sevenfold opened up the night with excitement and to get the audience warmed up for what was in store. I'm also extremely excited and proud to finally announce that I am now a part of the Vue Weekly photographer team! I'm so looking forward to what's yet to come with this great opportunity as we both continue to grow. 


Metallica also did a solid for those who wanted to see the show last night but couldn't make it out, as they celebrated the final show of their Hardwired World Tour by live-streaming the concert through their YouTube page, the stream can be viewed HERE for anyone who wants catch the live experience.


Needless to say, this was truly an unforgettable night for me and many others who are fans of the band. Though as a professional concert photographer, this is easily one of the biggest nights of my career, and it's something that I'll be talking about for years to come! I'm chomping at the bit for the next time Metallica visit's their Edmonton family!

Missed the show? Don't sweat it, I've got you covered! Check out my review of Metallica's banger performance right HERE at Vue Weekly!

Shakey Graves Rocks The Needle Vinyl Tavern After Edmonton Folk Fest Evacuation - August 10, 2017

PHOTOGRAPHED FOR EXCLAIM.CA

---

After a sudden performance cancellation due to a weather evacuation on the first day of the Edmonton Folk Music Festival on August 10th, the self proclaimed Gentleman from Texas, Shakey Graves found himself playing an impromptu set late Thursday night down at The Needle Vinyl Tavern in Edmonton. 

This was a super exciting time for me over the past weekend. My disappointment of having to leave the festival grounds early on Thursday night before the evening's headliners could hit the stage was easily made all better, thanks to the ever-so accommodating folks down at The Needle, and their notable speedy invitation-tweeting, which spread like wildfire throughout the Twitter world.

The venue started to fill up almost instantly once word got around about Shakey Grave's making an appearance on their stage. Hitting the stage at approximately 11 pm, Shakey and his band of jammers brought the house down entirely for an hour and a half in front of a full floor of people, eager to take in some of his classic southern-blues-meets-bluegrass tunes. 

Needless to say, this was a huge weekend-highlight for me, and it's easily something I won't be forgetting about any time soon! 

Couldn't make it in time to see Shakey Graves at The Needle? Don't worry! Exclaim! has you covered with the review right HERE!

Queen + Adam Lambert Bring Rock n Roll and Boisterous Bombast to Edmonton's Roger's Place - July 4, 2017

PHOTOGRAPHED FOR EXCLAIM!.CA

---

The month of June felt slow, and seemed to drag on for me leading up to this highly anticipated gig. The late, great and legendary Queen accompanied by former American Idol contestant Adam Lambert ,hit the stage together at Edmonton's own Roger's Place on Tuesday night, and it was nothing short of spectacular. With Lambert practically oozing with sexuality with every stage move, he made it clear to Queen's Edmonton audience that he was the perfect person to fill the bedazzled boots of their former singer, Freddie Mercury.  This was without a doubt one of the most impressive performances that I've been so lucky to have in front of my lens, and it's something that I wont soon be forgetting. 

Missed the show? Don't worry! You can check out the official review courtesy of Exclaim! Magazine HERE!
