Salmon Festival Live Music
Lyndon Cassell Music Photography
The Annual Port Alberni Salmon Derby and Festival is one of the Valley's annual September events, popular for live music.
Port Alberni's very own "Big Daddy". A mix of country and rock cover tunes from the most loved local act in the Valley.
When possible, I take in as much live music as I can. Even though I personally enjoy certain genres, live music of any genre is well worth the listen! As someone with a lot of energy and loves to dance and play the "air guitar", going to a live show and taking a ton of images is without a doubt one of my top photographic disciplines.
Cottonmouth Jones 2019.
This Southern Rock band from Vancouver Island featured lead singer and guitarist Chris Andres. Chris later went on to form a new band aptly named Chris Andres. I had also had the pleasure of photographing Chris Andres in 2022 at the Five Acre Co Summer Concert Series. You can go here to view some of those images.
