One night with Affection at Rock'n Blues Cafe Shimi
The story began few weeks ago when I was visiting back my home town, Dimitrovgrad in Bulgaria, where I grew up and my friends invited me to go out for a rock night with a young rock group they've heard only good stuff about, called "Affection", originally from Kazanluk, a lovely town in Central Bulgaria, very well known for its festival of the Rose in June. It was the first time these young talented gentlemen were brought to my attention. However, I can tell you, even from the start that this won't be the last time and I'll make sure they stay on my radar. As I loved their music and the warm friendly attitude towards the audience.
The place, called Rock'n Blues Cafe Shimi was a nice surprise too. Colorful interior, few rock symbols and objects on the walls ;) Small intimate stage for the musicians and comfortable seats just a meter or two away from them, nice, isn't it? I couldn't speak about the food there in general but the double cheeseburger I tried before the performance opening wasn't bad at all. The drinks - flawless. And the waitresses were very polite and quick. All tips - well deserved ;) But let's get back to the essence of the night with few of my photos.
By the way, and your trained eye could tell, I'm sure, that it was very dark in the bar, well, that's pretty much expected from this kind of places, right? So pardon, or enjoy the noise in the images. ;) I hate to use flashlights when covering such events. They ruin the ambiance, in my humble opinion...
A friend of mine, also a pro photog, enjoying a cold beer:
A guest bassist, famous local musician, took part in the show for few songs:
Some of my friends enjoying the night and my attention, of course :)
Now back to the band!
A good dose of classical headbanging!
Some virtuoso solos:
One of my friends even tried to blend in and become a rock star :) ;)
"Affection" played many of their own songs, along with few covers and I have to say, I loved them all. Their versions of famous hard rock and progressive rock songs were amazing and played perfectly! They are naturals, truly!
Logically, it was a burst of applause and cheers at the end:
They were great indeed so many of us asked for autographs after the show ;)
Thanks so much for your time, I hope you've enjoyed this short documentary of mine, if you have the time, check out the music of "Affection", I bet you won't regret that! ;)

Greetings @lightcaptured, looks like you had a fun evening. I'm glad to see your post for more than one reason. When I first saw the photos, my first thought was, "What a cool black and white" photo shoot. Photos are grainy and I love that. Then I saw you letting the readers know that it was dark. Well, it doesn't matter because all the photos are great! You've managed to capture the best moments of the show.
The place looks like a dream. I love bars and cafes where the walls are made of bricks, that is so cool.
Thanks so much for the warm words, @erikah! The place is indeed good and different in a way.

Thank you 😀
Looks like it was a good night out for everyone that was there. Your photos really show this and it is bought across through the photographs. I am not a fan of black and white normally, but they do make it even better. I have never heard of Affection and will look them up.
Thanks so much, @cryptoandcoffee! I hope you enjoy their music a lot! 🍻😉🎧🎵
