Sloan on Stage

            Here is my first upload from the amazing concert that we went to Saturday night; the extremely talented and criminally under-rated Canadian pop-rock band, Sloan.  The concert was held at the historic and lovely Bragg Creek Centre for the Performing Arts, which was a very nice, cozy venue with amazing acoustics.

The band has 4 members (although for this tour they have brought on a 5th for keyboards and percussion, the guy in the Sailor's hat), each of whom are extremely versatile multi-instrumentalists and who all write songs for each album.

From left to right, the band members photographed here are:Patrick Pentland, Chris Murphy, Andrew Scott (in the back on drums), and Jay Ferguson.

This was taken in the early stages of the show, while everyone was still sitting down in the chairs provided, but, within 15 minutes of the concert starting, the vast majority of the crowd had rushed the stage and was dancing and cheering right at the feet of the band.

My friends and I were able to get right up front and center, right up against the stage, so I was able to get some really amazing photos that night.

I wanted to upload this one first as it is one of the few where each band member is crisply captured (well, aside from the drummer, but he will show up in future shots!).

It was an AMAZING show, and for only 40 dollars a ticket, probably the best money I have spent in my life.

Hope you are all having a great week so far!
