The Weepies' Steve Tannen on guitar
The blog entry with the prior images of The Weepies has quickly become the most popular on the site so I’ll offer you some more pics of The Weepies from their show opening for Aimee Mann in Jacksonville last week.

Aimee Mann
I’m heading to another show at Britt tonight (Cheap Trick), but I’m not bringing my camera. Today I can offer you a couple more pics from last week’s excellent Aimee Mann show though.

Opening for Aimee Mann at the Britt Festival a few nights back were The Weepies on their 2011 Acoustic Summer Tour. They had Jonny Flower on bass for most songs as well. I had never heard of The Weepies before, but most of the audience seemed to be very familiar.

Aimee Mann - Britt Festival - Jacksonville, Oregon - 8/23/11
I am a fan of Aimee Mann‘s solo work. Back in the 80s, bands like Til Tuesday were not on my radar.
Aimee Mann
The first I ever heard of Aimee Mann was on Rush’s “Time Stand Still” (video below). Alas, “Hold Your Fire” is my least favorite Rush studio album, which is saying a lot since they have 19 of them.
No, I became a fan in the 1990s when a friend put “I’m with Stupid” on his “desert island discs” list so I gave her a try; I’ve been hooked ever since.
Aimee Mann takes the stage at Britt Festival 2011
After narrowly missing Aimee Mann’s performance in Tokyo a couple years ago, I have finally been able to attend one of her shows. Last night at the Britt Festival in Jacksonville was wonderful. More photos to come soon…

Some more Brandi Carlile for you today…

I took these photos from several rows back of the stage. Brandi tossed one of her guitar picks straight at me for a bonus souvenir on top of the photos.

This isn't the end. I have more. 😉
As promised, here are some more photos from Brandi Carlile’s performance at the Britt Festivals in Jacksonville, Oregon on June 22, 2011.
Brandi opened the show for Ray LaMontagne. I’ll have some more pictures for you on a later date.
Here she is with one of the twins, Tim Hanseroth.

Brandi Carlile opened for Ray LaMontagne a few nights back at the Britt Festival. Although Ray was kind enough to provide me with a photo pass (as photography isn’t allowed at Britt without one), it (and all of the photo passes issued that evening) had the stipulation that photos could only be taken from this one spot (which was obviously far from the stage and only capable of capturing Ray’s backside or occasional profile).
One good thing about this vantage point is it can give you a good shot of the crowd too (with a wide angle lens).
I used my new 50mm 1.8 for this second shot. I think I could have gotten some great shots with it from my seat down front in what became lower light later, but I didn’t get to test out that possibility due to the rules.
Finally, at the maximum zoom in my bag (200mm), here is as close as I could get. The possibilities weren’t very numerous from a fixed point with a band that doesn’t move around or change expressions much, but I still had a great time and Ray and the Pariah Dogs sounded great.
I’ll give you more variety from Brandi here soon.
Had a great time at Britt in Jacksonville yesterday. The first time I saw Brandi Carlile was at Britt in 2005 when few people had heard of her. This time I had a much better seat and a photo pass. She should really be headlining this show now. Maybe next year.
Anyway, I have a bunch of decent photos from this performance. Today I’ll just give you a taste (as I have only a few minutes to kill before I board a plane to Amsterdam) of what’s to come with these two pictures.
