Petr Cancura

Wordless stories of the deep south, gut wrenching cry of the old times, Petr Cancura & Down Home turns old black & white photographs into music.

Known for bringing together roots music and jazz, his critically acclaimed group from Brooklyn tackles the old-time acoustic blues and country on the porch, off the beaten path in Mississippi… you will not be disappointed with this music!

Night Time Cars. I had to set up in the median to take this shot and open the shutter for about 10 seconds. A couple of cars turning left didn’t know what to do with a camera pointing at them, perhaps fearing I was the fuzz
