Dec 9, 2004. During 2004, I had the fortunate opportunity to tag along with the amazing Canadian band named Thornley as they performed at various venues, including the 2004 CASBYs ('Canadian Artists as Selected By You'). As I was shooting video of the live performances, I did not have a chance for photos. Instead, I took photos during sound-check, dinner, R&R etc. The pictures below are a few of the hundreds I took. They are in many ways far more interesting than performance shots: the behind-the-scenes view offers an intimate peek at life on the road. Generally far from home, this is a family unit onto itself, tethered to family and friends by a cellular umbilical cord.
