Wintersleep is one of my favourite bands to see perform live. Ever since my friends Dave and Mark introduced me to their (at that time) upcoming album Welcome to the Night Sky, I was hooked. Their songs strike a cord with me that is hard to describe. They’re melodic but easy to rock out to. Their sound is…
If anyone was going to whip the crowd into a frenzy, it would be hometown boys Hollerado. It was a good thing too because the crowd had grown exponentially, I think because most of the day’s races were now complete. The beachballs even made an appearance during their set…
The Fast Romantics were next up on the bill, an indie-rock band from Toronto, Ontario.

Back in December, I had the privilege of being invited to The Verge/XM Radio’s Christmas Party at the Tatoo Rock Parlor. This particular party featured a two set acoustic show…
On Monday July 13th, I shot Matisyahu’s performance at The Opera House here in Toronto. The concert was a blend of…
My favourite band, The Tragically Hip played one of my favourite venues to see them in, The Air Canada Centre. I was again very blessed to be able to shoot the Hip…
