You Look Marvelous!
This is pretty much a photoblog, mostly pictures I've taken.
You can find out more about me over at candaceshaw.ca; I'm a music festival Director, actor, writer, Social Media Consultant (yep, I get paid to Tweet for musicians; it feels like the future), community organizer, bon vivant, creative genius, and adventuress.

I know I’ve already posted one photo from the Sunday-morning serenade of Niagara Falls, but this one’s pretty good too.

At some point very early Sunday morning, the hotel decided it had humoured us enough, so they kicked us out of the hallways and told us to go to bed. But there was some kind service stairway that somebody had scoped out earlier, and we ended the night in a civilized fashion - over whiskey, with song.

C.R. Avery’s spoken word is a revelation (the revelation is that not all spoken word sucks!).
Someone is probably going to yell at me for writing that.

More of those Boxcar Boys, jamming in the hallway. The hotel was amazingly complacent about the idea of brass instruments in the hallways at 4am.

A hotel-room jam at the OCFF conference - and who’s that lovely lady on the fiddle? I believe it’s Peterborough’s own Melissa Payne, Peterborough Folk Festival Emerging Artist 2011!

A lot of musicians in a very small space - that guy’s the clarinetist (obviously) for The Boxcar Boys, and he’s an amazing player, and they’re pretty awesome too.

I managed to get some great photos from the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals conference this past weekend, and I’ll post them soon, but here’s one of my favourites: 7:00am Sunday, after a night of friends, music, and jamming, James playing the theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey as the sun rises over Niagara Falls.
