Rock ‘n Blues At The Station Pub In Downtown Abbotsford
Posted by Musician | Filed under Performances, Photos
On February 12th, Deception, along with a number of other local bands, christened the stage at the newly renovated Station Pub in Downtown Abbotsford. This effort was led by Abbotsford’s own Paxton Bachman, whose Blues band kicked off the night as the first band on the new stage.
It was a Thursday night filled with great music, as Downtown Abbotsford was rocked by the some of this city’s most well known musical acts.
Deception was the second band up on stage that night. As you can see, the stage is actually not that small. It can accommodate a 5-piece if you don’t have too much gear…
Now poor Gary is forever having a hard time with band photos. He is always behind the front line, or behind his cymbals, or as in the case above, behind a microphone. So I decided he needed a little something “extra” to indicate just how much he means to us.
So Gary, in honour of your gold medal performances over the years, I hope you enjoy this touch of gold edging in your stylized portrait. 
Deception is the Abbotsford-based blues band formed in the mid-90s by guitar player Art Panchishin.
