After a whirlwind road trip out to Saskatchewan for a wedding, Katrina and I raced back to Winnipeg to shoot the season 2 finale of the Artist Next Door series at the Neighborhood Cafe in the Wolseley community.  This happy little cafe, whose walls are filled with what seems like a million paperbacks, was packed with people who came out to see performances by local fiddling sensation Sierra Noble (www.sierranoble.ca) and Brazillian guitarist Marco Castillo.   The concert also included performances by Taiko drummer Phoebe Mann, hand drummer Brian Cloud, percussionist Scott Senior, and presentations by artist Diana Thorneycroft and poet Jan Guenther Braun.

It being a packed house, it was super warm and really tight for space, making it a bit of a challenge for shooting.  That said, it’s always nice to work while listening to good music.
