Canada Day- Owen Pallett

This Canada Day I spent the majority of my afternoon in Confederation Park enjoying the one free day of jazz festival. It was very relaxing to sit in the grass all afternoon and listen to jazz bands perform. Our afternoon wait was to see Owen Pallett perform on the main stage in the early evening. Owen Pallett put on an excellent Canada Day show playing one song after another on his dusty violin. I was amazed by how he actually performs his music, using a loop pedal that is connected to three separate amps creating a deep layered effect with his violin, keyboard, and rich voice. After the show Owen met with fans taking pictures and doing creative signings, including a pac man themed one on the back of an ipod.
