“Photographer Richard Beland (www.richardbeland.com) will have an exhibit of his Tragically Hip photos on display at Toronto’s Pikto Gallery from October 1 to November 27 in a retrospective showing billed as Colour Of The Night. Beland has shot the group at more than 100 concerts since 1993 and was also the photographer for their In Violet Light and In Between Evolution albums. He was nominated for a Juno Award for his contribution to the artwork for Hip singer Gord Downie’s solo album, The Battle Of The Nudes, and has captured the images of Coldplay, The Cure, Nickelback and Nirvana, among many other prominent bands, over the years.”

We met Richard while we were in Europe and if the glimpses of his images that we caught over his shoulder are any indication of what this show will be like, we are in for a real treat!
