Victoriaville Blues Festival 2009

When we arrived in Victoriaville Trevor Finlay was doing a sound check. He was performing with Domenic Romanelli on Bass and Sam Harrison on Drums. Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures of him or his band :( After their sound check it was our turn. They had a very nice stage setup. However, we only saw the tip of the iceberg. Things really came alive after dark with their light show and smoke machine.


The lights were amazing!! We were also told by some fans that the sound was great! Victoriaville went out of their way for this show. We were very impressed. Kudos to the city, organizers and all the staff. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate this time. After 45 minutes of our 60 minute set it started to rain with thunder and lightning. The large crowd that had gathered started to leave.


Those with umbrella's remained but then it really started to pour. The sound men had to come and cover everything on stage as the wind started to wet all the equipment. We took what we can and went for cover. The organizers had a trailer home behind the stage reserved for artists so that's where we stayed with our parents for at least an other hour until the rain calmed down. By that time all other shows were cancelled including Trevor Finlay.


Despite what happened we still ended up having a great time. While we were in the trailer home we had the opportunity to speak with our agent, Brian Slack. Sam Harrison also had a chat with us. Angel Forest dropped by to say hello.
Thanks for reading our blog.
Justin, Adam and Matthew
