Bluesfest: Cavaliers!

I didn't know what to expect at the National Bank Stage, with a band named Cavaliers (or, to be more accurate, Cavaliers!) but a youthful collection of Toronto-based folk-rockers was not high on the list. Michel Verrier and Britton Allison front the quartet; drummer Reed Neagle and bassist Adam Pariselli handle the rhythm section.

Britton sings!



Vocal and harp action from Michel.



Closeup action!



Adam also handles the running around.



Michel strums!



More running, singing and strumming!



More Michel!



Singalong action!



Ryan hits!



More Michel!



Bonus Ryan!



I also took a few sepia photos.



Well-lit action!



The whole lot!



Then it was off to see Wanda Jackson.
