Some new Galleries – Three Quarter Stone at The Rockpile – The Blazers at Monarch’s Pub

Recently finished working on some pix taken during the wonderfully cold and snowy month of February. First up, back on the 9th, I was invited out to rock with Guelph’s finest – Three Quarter Stone at the Rockpile in Toronto’s west end. TQS have shared the stage with some of Rock’s best acts, like Teenage Head, Michael Schenker, Coney Hatch, Goddo, Uli Jon Roth. The list goes on. Their next show is this March 7th at the Pheonix Concert Theatre. in a support role for uber metal heads, Queensryche! Then a show back at the Rockpile in May on the bill with Southern Rockers ‘Molly Hatchet’! Awesome stuff, Man!

And on Valentine’s day, I found myself at Monarch’s Pub in the Delta Chelsea hotel downtown. I was there for the Winterfolk Pre-Party, but it was also ‘Delta-Blues Thursday’s’ at the club and The Blazers where the band on the bill later that night. These guys play a funky-rock blended Rhythm & Blues. They are currently promoting their latest release ‘Red Hot…’. They have quite a full schedule of shows lined up, check out their site for info www.theblazers.net

Paul James Birthday Bash, Sound Academy Jan 19th, 2013

It was ‘Hey Bo Diddley’ night  at the Sound Academy this past January 19th, that was the password at the door to get into a Q107 sponsered Birthday Bash/Fan Appreciation night for Paul James, who along with a few friends, blasted out some good ol rock n`roll.

Two of my buddies and I hopped in the car and went to the club, public transportation to this part of the portlands is pretty much non-existent. On the drive down, I was havin a hard time with the camera strap getting tangled, not helping things was my heavy winter coat and being crammed in the back seat. The club was quite full, but not packed, which is good for me IMO. More room to move around. We also met up with quite a few friends and made some new ones, the vibe in the place was real cool and laid back. Afterwards, we all had had too much to drink so we left the car and cabbed it. (I heard later that my friend was lucky to find one exit that wasn’t locked & chained up when he picked up his car the next day)

Paul rawk’ed it Blue’s style, always a great showman. He was quite gracious in accepting his birthday cake, thanking the fans and successfully blowing out all the candles (I don’t think there were 62 on that cake  –  that might have been a fire hazard 🙂

Here are a few select photos from the full gallery. Please check them out and comment on the ones you like.
