Elderbrook, the artist and singer who brought us the likes of ‘Cola’ and ‘Inner Light’ took to the stage of Northern Nights Music Festival Cook’s Valley Campground in Piercy, California.
You can see through the photos that we caught that the weather at the 2022 festival was hot and muggy, but that didn’t stop Elderbrook from playing his heart out to a captivated audience.
We were lucky enough to recruit the photographic talents of Johnny Edge, who captured the festival experience through the eyes’ of Elderbrook in our latest photo diary.

Elderbrook Photos Taken By Johnny Edge
Got to Northern Nights Festival. IT WAS HOT. Pictured here with my large bowl of fruit and chips to match.
As a traveling musician, “disco naps” have become a regular for me. Had to get in a lil 20 mins before stage in order to build up some energy for stage.
Couple mezcals deep and the manic onstage laughter comes out.
I’m the only one who doesn’t see the light show behind me BUT I hear it was incredible. Judging by the wide eyes and open mouths in front of me it must have been.
Sometimes when you twist a knob so intensely it can transport you to an entirely new realm of musical enlightenment. This is picture proof.
The crowd was amazing. The people, the props, the colours and the VIBE. So good.
And after – the vodka comes out and it’s time to say goodbye. Incredible festival thoroughly enjoyed. SEE YA NEXT TIME xxxxxxx
