The Peterborough Festival of Lights kicked off yesterday with Kalan Porter. It was amazing! My mom managed to score VIP passes so that was sweet! We got to sit really close and we didn't have to be at the park at 3:30am like some people did. That's nuts. There was a whole group of people who showed up at 3:30am to line up (the concert was at 8:00pm). The funny part was, we showed up 12 hours after them (we were at the park at 3:30pm), and we were in the same row as them! Haha.
Kalan put on a great show, as usual. The Festival of Lights has been running for 19 years, and that was the biggest crowd last night than for any previous show. Gordon Lightfoot had the previous record with 10,000. I'm sure tomorrow's paper will say how many were there last night, but it was more than that!
I had an amazing time, he is such a talented guy. He's come so far from when he was on Canadian Idol. He is unique because not only is he an amazing singer, he also is a very talented musician. He plays the violin and it's so awesome because you don't normally hear violin or fiddle music incorporated with pop/rock type of music. Definately unique. He is definately going places. I hope I get the opportunity to see him again soon! Although, I'm sure I won't get to see him again for free. That was a special treat. And VIP passes, what luck! He certainly set the bar high for future performers at the Festi, that's for sure. I think he will hold the record for the most people for awhile.

I hope that Kalan is different than all the other Canadian / American Idol contestants and manages to get a second record out... After their debut album, you never seem to hear anything about most of the Idol artists.
