CNE Concert Photos – Tim Hicks concert at the CNE Bandshell Stage on Aug 29 2014
Tim Hicks and his bandmates put on an “AMAZING” concert at the CNE Bandshell Stage on Aug 20!!!

This was the best band that I have ever had the luck to see and hear performing at the CNE Bandshell Stage! Tim Hicks and his boys know how to entertain!

I was apprehensive about shooting this concert. Tim Hicks is supposed to play on Country Music Radio Stations. Little did I know. This was “not” a Johnny Cash type of Country Music. Tim Hicks is as a good a Rock Band as they are a Country Band.

Superb Guitar solos. Their Bass Player is an extraordinary showman. Tim has a powerful voice and easily worked the audience.

Their Drummer pounded out the beat. Seriously great muscians.

I am not a Country Music fan, but I really enjoyed the Tim Hicks concert. Great to listen to. Fun to watch their performance.

The only stupid beef that I had, was with Tim’s baseball cap. The front brim would cast a shadow on his face…

Tim Hicks closed the show with multiple blasts from assorted Dry Ice funnels. They blasted funnels of fog onto the stage. Really neat effect. Wish that I had brought two cameras with a wide angle zoom on it. Hard to capture a full stage with a long lens.

Because of the Tim Hicks concert, I plan on buying a video camera in the near future. Video is great when something spectacular happens. I would have loved to have captured their closing song on video. Heck the whole Tim Hicks concert would have been great to capture on video.

Tim Hicks spoke about playing for a long period as the “house band” in a Toronto bar. These guys are ready for the “big time”. Superb players who also have a great visual performance. Concerts are about “BOTH” sight and sound. Tim Hicks and his band knows about that, in spades.

The show was in a way a mix of the old rustic India and the new Modern India.

I was surprised when he ask female fans to join him on stage. It looked liked the Security guy were also surprised. The Audience loved that gesture.

These Kids Wear Crowns will perform at the CNE Bandshell on Tues Aug 26th
Mark your calendars for Tues Aug 26th. That night These Kids Wear Crowns will perform with Eleven Past One and also Prty H3ro, at the CNE Bandshell stage.
These Kids Wear Crowns is a great band from Canada’s West Coast, Chilliwack to be exact.

The link above will take you to the pics from their 2013 concert in Vaughan. They are really good musicians, who also know how to work their audience.
Every year the The EX puts on a number of concerts at the CNE Bandshell. In a future post I will compile a complete 2014 concert list.
I wanted the first post about the 2014 CNE Bandshell concerts to feature a really great band, but also one which is not as well-known in Toronto.
The concerts will start at 7:30pm. but get there early.

Chuck D Keeping is one of those musicians who plays at the back of the stage, while keeping the beat of the concert pumping. In August, I caught this very talented Drummer performing with Big Wreck at the CNE Bandshell. Back in the summer of 2012, I had also seen him on Drums with Suzie McNeil.

He has played with Rock bands, as well as major Symphony Orchestras. See if you recognize any of the people that Chuck has played with, such as Suzie McNeil, Big Wreck, Prince, Jeff Healey and Johhny Reid to name just a few. A very talented musician and songwriter.

On Aug 28 Big Wreck rolled into Toronto to play at the CNE Bandshell. During show setup I was amazed at the number of different guitars, that were being checked. Behind the Drummer’s pod, along the whole rear of the stage were racks of guitars. Continue reading

Sunday evening Dragonette took to the stage at the CNE Bandshell. So called “electronic” bands have caught on in a big way. For me it’s still unusual to not to see a guitar player or even a bass player on the stage. Continue reading
