Johanna Pavia and SoulDrive at The Boathouse

After months of renovations, downtown Kitchener’s Boathouse has finally re-opened. We went the other weekend with some neighbours to try and it and were impressed with the food. It’s run by the same people that operate Imbibe Food/Drink on King Street so we had a feeling we’d enjoy it.

While shooting the Voices Carry event a couple weeks ago I met Johanna Pavia and her band SoulDrive. They were having their EP Release show at The Boathouse over the weekend and asked if I could take some shots of the show.

The show was outstanding. Johanna can really belt out the tunes and the crowd certainly enjoyed the hour-plus performance of original and cover songs. My personal favourite was their cover of Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit. They’re currently in Memphis representing Kitchener-Waterloo in the International Blues Showcase.
