It was October 13, 2016, my first concert shooting for Sound Check Entertainment. I had shot music before, but this was my first organized shoot for a full fledged media outlet. It was Kip Moore with John Pardi with special guest Meghan Patrick. This was the first concert in Kingston where I was allowed to shoot in the pit and it was exciting. I had shot there before for some big names but from FOH (sound board). Funny how memories come back to you. This is Kip Moore from that night, first time in the pit at K-Rock Centre, Kingston.

Just another quick post from the show last week at Richardson Stadium. Jay Emmons and Chris Huot enjoying their night. I was very impressed with these guys Saturday night, this was the biggest setting I’ve seen them and they thrived in it. The Glorious Sons are heading out on tour for the next few months and I’m happy for them, they’ve worked so hard, enjoy the ride guys.

My busy summer concert season is slowing down now that the festivals are done for another year. I was lucky enough to be able to document two very rare shows in Kingston recently. The first was the Rockin’ The Big House Event which was held inside the walls of Kingston Pen and featured some great people including three of the members of The Tragically Hip. Also, on Saturday evening I was able to shoot the Glorious Sons show at Richardsons Stadium. I only remember one other show on that field and it was another Kingston band.

Saturday night, I had the good fortune to shoot the Rockin’ The Big House show here in Kingston. For anyone who doesn’t know what that was, it was a concert featuring some pretty big Canadian musicians and it took place inside a former federal penitentiary here in town that is currently being run as a museum and it did indeed rock! Below is a photo taken at the end of the show and features all members of The Trews, Tom Cochrane and three of the remaining members of The Tragically Hip! History was made in Kingston Saturday night………in more than one way.
