Irish Mythen is on tour. There are precious few artists who pack the power and emotional wallup that Iris does. Do catch them if they pass through your neck of the woods. You won’t be sorry. Nikon D750 70-300mm/f4.5-5.6 #Photography #Nikon #NikonD750 #LiveMusic #ConcertPhotography @hughsroomlive

Irish strums and sings for a crowd at Hugh’s Room in Toronto.

Irish, face taut with emotion, powers through another song on stage.

I rarely get up to the balcony, partly because my knees don’t love the stairs but, mainly, because I can’t stray too far from the console during a show. That was definitely the case for this show. What show did you see?

As the new season starts at Hugh’s Room Live, here’s a highlight from last season: the incredible Jimmy Webb - singing, telling tales, and singing MacArthur Park with Pete Mancini. Nikon D750 70-300mm/f4.5-5.6 #Photography #Nikon #NikonD750 #LiveMusic #ConcertPhotography @hughsroomlive

Jimmy Webb, head facing sjyward, sings at the grand piano.

Jimmy, looking like he is channeling Orsen Welles, tells a tale of his father, a WWII marine turned Baptist minister.

Jimmy speaks of the stories behind his songs and the times he has had.

Jimmy plays the piano with Pete Mancini on guitar. I know they are playing MacArthur Park because I saved the green backdrop lights for the sweet green icing flowing down.
