Blues through the Ages - Friday, February 15, 2013 8pm - The Heritage Grill, New Westminster
The Kathy Frank Band is playing an intimate blues show at the Heritage Grill in New Westminster, BC. The show is a musical journey of the blues for the last 100 years. We will be playing a selection of songs representing artists through the decades along with some narrative to help guide you along! So come down and be part of a special night with us!
Tickets are available at Eventbrite.com with a limited number at the door. Show starts at 8pm and runs approximately 2 hours.
Well 2013 is off to a start now and with it comes new adventures and opportunities! I'm looking forward to the up coming year already!
After a Christmas break, got together with the band and did some writing and threw around some ideas for songs. We are now starting the writing process as Kathy has been working feverishly on lyrics and has some great ideas! The plan is to work writing the new album, do some shows and then head into the studio early spring! Love this part of taking an idea and developing it into a finished product! Much like an artist staring at a blank canvas, musicians start with something like a lyric and create music for it, then work on it until it becomes a finished song. Always a great feeling!
Photography wise my work seems to have caught the eye of a few people and I'm now getting asked to attend events and do some shooting which is very exciting for me! My artistic side is flattered that at least some people like what I do. I appreciate all the feedback, both good and bad, that I receive on my photos. My main objective this year is to work on getting better shots in low light conditions without a flash. Not as easy as it sounds! My greatest challenge whenever I shoot is capturing drummers. I find that they usually have little to no light on them, and are always moving, which makes it very difficult to capture them in a shot. I have only a few shots I'm happy with of drummers in my portfolio, but hope to increase that number this year! With each show I do, I learn more about photography and post production. My hat goes off to the pros who are so creative in the post editing end of things as that is an art form all itself!
My resolution for the coming year are simple ones: Be a strong confident individual, great father, loving partner, and good friend to all! Work on my passions and indulge my creative side in both music and photography! Here's to the next 12 months! Cheers!
