In ancient times, shade was prioritised for urban comfort, but in the age of the air-conditioner its value is often overlooked.

Belgian blues great GHALIA VOLT returns to the White Water for an awesome night of music this Thursday, October 9th! Advance tickets for this 8pm show are available for $15 at www.whitewatertavern.com

Ghalia Volt is a Belgian blues rock singer, guitarist, drummer and songwriter. Six years have passed since Volt quit the busking circuit of her native Brussels for the heady throb of New Orleans, where she made her first ripples as the livewire frontwoman of local heroes Mama’s Boys. That hook-up led to Volt’s acclaimed debut album Let The Demons Out (declared “an irresistible force” by Classic Rock) and to Volt’s next stepping stone, to the hill country of Coldwater, Mississippi, for sessions with the Southern state’s Cody Dickinson, Watermelon Slim and Cedric Burnside on 2019’s Mississippi Blend. That album saw Volt dubbed “a natural-born star” by Henry Yates (NME, Classic Rock, The Guardian) and broke into the Billboard Blues Chart Top 3 on three separate occasions.

I photographed the historic Jed Johnson Tower at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma. The stone structure, built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, stands on a ridge overlooking Lake Jed Johnson and the surrounding granite hills.
