Bluesfest: Laurent Bourque

I saw Laurent Bourque for the third time at Bluesfest. It was my first time seeing him perform with something like a full band. It was a good thing he had some folks with him, since he was doing sonic battle with Protest the Hero's main stage set.

Grimacing action!



Extra guitar action with Sam Seguin!



Laurent had some paramedical assistance from Luc Duross and Jaime Kronick.



Laurent sings!



Jaime taps!



Rhythm section action!



Laurent sings!



Sam sings!



As an aside, I am very, very pleased with how my point-and-shoot photos turned out at this set.



Jaime brushes up.



The whole lot!



Then I went to see the laugh-a-minute folks in Protest The Hero.
