Kenny Wayne Shepherd – 2015 Lowell Summer Music Series


photo100 – #17

And another great season of music under the stars begins in Lowell!

This year’s openning show is a double bill of blues guitar greats Jonny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.

Sadly, it was another in the expanding trend of ‘no professional cameras allowed’ shows so I was relegated to my Canon SX230 HS running CHDK.

Rick Estrin & Kid Andersen of The Nightcats – Regattabar, Cambridge MA, March 2010


photo365 – Day 329

This is a rather small venue (http://www.regattabarjazz.com/)and I was able to get a table immediately in front of the stage. Sadly, the show was poorly marketed and the crowd was very small, a few dozen at best. Considring the caliber of the talent I was very surprised by the low turn-out. The band was also surprised but they put on a full, energetic and delightful show despite the small audience.

This was one of the last shows I shot with the Sony Cybershot. It was quite challenging due to the strong direct lighting blowing out the highlights and low general lighting for the rest of the scene. Because of the small crowd my shooting was quite obvious so I was a bit self-conscious. That camera had a rather loud shutter noise so I had to be careful to shoot only during the ‘loud bits’. 😉

Buddy Guy – 2013 Lowell Summer Music Series


photo365 – Day 288

Funny story that goes with this photo… He paused as he stood in from of me while I took this image. I thought he was being kind to allow me an unhurried shot . Turns out he was waiting for me to move my legs that were blocking his path through the audience. DOH!

This photo appears in the book Mill Power, by Paul Marion.
