Concert In the Garden: Susan Grace

Alaska, Music, Photography

Once again from UAF Summer Sessions, Concert in the Garden performance by Susan Grace, Alaskan troubadour, singer and songwriter. Her songs analyzing the effect humans have on the planet were made more poignant by the smoke blowing in from a nearby wildfire. It wasn’t enough to deter people from enjoying the music. The concert took place June 17, 2013 at the Georgeson Botanical Gardens.

Concert in the Garden was a fantastic event to photograph. So much is happening in a very compact area, allowing for photographs with many different elements.

Can’t have a post about music without the standard close up of the musician!

    Wow, great photos! Yes, the wildfires do tend to put a damper on things… glad people were still able to enjoy the concert. I like the performers that come to the fair in Fairbanks every August – hopefully all the wildfires are put out by then!
