Our little town is a half hour drive from Kamloops.
Each summer, Kamloops provides free concerts in the Riverside Park band shell,
from 7 to 8:30 pm, every evening in July & August.
Last night it was our friend, Harpdog Brown & his band, so naturally we made
the treck into town.
Photography proved a challenge, despite being broad daylight. Smoke from the
nearby forest fires made for lousy air quality (10+ is "Very high risk", they
say but yesterday Kamloops measured at 18), with remarkably low light. But, it
was also stiflingly hot at 37C (98.6F) at 7 PM.
This first shot is of the sun, at 7:38 pm.

During the show, bylaw officers rode by, to check out the music. You can see
the haze, just looking across the crowd.

But, as always, the show goes on ...
Harpdog (yes, that's his legal name!) has just won the Maple Blues (Canada's
most prestigious award for Blues musicians) "Harmonica Player of the Year", for
the second year running.

Some folks seemed to flow with the music...

While others just wanted to dance...

Harpdog is very "old school", using ancient, tube amplifiers for a "warmer"
sound. Perfect in pubs & small jazz clubs, but, getting them hooked up to a
modern amplifier takes a little doing...

And, finally, it was not just me who wanted to take photos...

Enjoy!
