Life In Pictures is a semi-regular feature on Guerrilla Candy that chronicles moments throughout a big performance day for one of our favorite musicians or bands.
On April 11th, I had the pleasure of shadowing one of my favorite local songstresses, V. Contreras, as she prepared for her highly anticipated record release show at The Triple Door that evening. Over the years, the classically trained vocalist has been featured with Seattle Rock Orchestra, Patsy Cline’s Sweet Dreams tribute, and Hootenanny for a Healthy Gulf among many other special events.
For her record release show, V. was joined on stage by many talented local musicians, many of whom also performed on her self-titled album (Rebecca Young – bass, Jeff Fielder – guitar, Aaron O’Neill – drums, William Stover – keys, Katy Cornell / Sonya Howard / Taryn Webber – background vocals, Eric Padget – trumpet, Tom Yoder – trombone, Andrew Joslyn Orchestra, and Martin Feveyear – who also produced / engineered / mixed / mastered the album). Lively and Melodic Caring Project were on hand to record audio and video of this special night. You can download the Lively app on your mobile device and follow the link to purchase the live audio (and video coming soon). V. Contreras’ self-titled album can be purchased on iTunes, Amazon, or at your local record store.

The 90-minute concert in Tacoma is going to be truly amazing. I’m lucky enough to be hosting the show, so the best seat in the house is certainly mine. 🙂
