The Nevah Band is fortunate to have had their image captured by several well known photographers over the last few years at a few bluegrass festivals and various other events. During last weeks Old Town Outdoor Concert in the Park performance another well known Maine photographer was present to capture their candid images. Wanda Crosby, a critically acclaimed photographer from Passadumkeag Maine, came specifically to photograph Nevah in concert.

Of course everyone knows that the Maine Bluegrass Band, Nevah, is purported to have some devilishly handsome bluegrass players (if we do say so ourselves). Some folks hinted that they may be the best looking progressive NewGrass band in the state, so to make them look good is a relatively easy task. Wanda, however, was able to capture the pure essence of these debonaire bluegrass musicians during their live performance.
From photos of their instruments to the amazing group shots, each has a precision only a few artists can achieve without the assistance of photoshop. Wanda, almost invisible to both the audience and performers alike, took shots from every conceivable angle. And yet, we never saw a flash go off throughout the performance.

After seeing these photos Nevah truly hopes to work with Wanda Crosby again in the near future along with Mia Smith another award winning photographer.
What a night for Nevah to play outdoors in Old Town (this was taken 15 minutes before clouds appeared and it began to rain soaking the band and instruments) |
