Montreal-based reggae artists Jah Cutta & The Determination Band will hit the slopes at this year’s Whistler Ski & Snowboard festival, bringing a lil Jamaican flavour to this blow-out, 10 day 4/20 celebration in BC’s Rocky Mountains. Well known for their high energy, sincerely passionate live performances, this year’s show on the Whistler Village Mainstage promises to be a jam session not to be missed.
This show was way more crazy than I expected. The guy with a mouth guard standing next to me should have been my first clue. I have to say this concert was by far the most intense event I have been at as a photographer. Rivalling my time of playing sports back in the day. I felt like I was in a 45 minute rugby scrimmage.
A homemade sign held over head declaring: “Tiësto is My God”, swayed and bounced along to the beat of the electric waves being shot out of the night club sound system as fans danced themselves into a state of stupefied euphoria. Among the first DJs to break out of relative anonymity and cult followings to be elevated to the status of major stadium performer, Tiësto is deserving of all his accolades. Not only is this guy a fantastic and original DJ, he is such a sweetie! That adorable grin endears the man to one’s heart even without that killer back beat to get your heart racing. Put it all together with a great light show and a loving crowd, and the result is one fabulous night of great music and positive vibes.
