When I heard that R&B singer Jully Black was performing at Blissdom Canada this year, I was pretty excited! “yay they secured some awesome entertainment, that should be fun!” I thought to myself. I imagined Jully coming out to sing a few songs for us on the conference room platform, if we were super lucky she might pose for a few photos. But I never could have dreamed up this –
Full rock concert stage and lights, heated tent and the wine was flowing! The atmosphere had definitely been set! And then Jully Black hit the stage with full force!
It became evident right away that Jully wasn’t hired to perform at Blissdom on a whim, she was the PERFECT person to perform at Blissdom Canada 2013! Jully didn’t hold back because she was doing her thang in front of a smaller crowd than usual, if anything she truly put her whole heart into it and connected with everyone in the attendance. Jully chatted with the audience, made a few jokes about us white ladies showing some soul, and she got the crowd moving!

There is a little bit of Jully Black in all of us.
After the performance, we met up with Jully in the hotel hallway where she happily posed for pictures. She hung around for a chat in the hotel bar and immediately jumped on twitter to tweet with us and even follow our accounts! That’s a pretty big deal friends! Our evening with Jully Black was the perfect girls night out and the perfect addition to Blissdom Canada this year!
awesome photos!! you really captured the strength of the performance
Thanks Paula!
