When Max Gomez talks about music, it feels less like an interview and more like a front porch conversation at dusk… the kind where two friends just share stories while guitars lean against chairs and the truth slips out easily. The Taos, New Mexico-born Americana artist has been writing songs that feel like weathered pages […]
Every once in a while, I find myself attending a show I otherwise would never considered going to, had it not been for the suggestion of someone close to me. A few weeks ago, I was hanging out with some of my music friends when a song came across our Spotify queue; it turned out […]
There are a few music venues in the city of Nashville where it seems as if magic consistently happens. One such place is The Blue Room, a 300-person-capacity venue owned by Jack White. The Blue Room has a tendency to put on some of the coolest shows, often feeling like an exclusive party because of […]
I would like to begin this article by calling out one of my friends in the music community. Many years ago, I had tickets to go see The Growlers in Philadelphia, but I got pretty sick and was unable to attend. I won’t name any names, but I passed my tickets off and the consensus […]
A few months ago, a song called “Did I Say Too Much” slipped onto my Spotify playlist. It was one of those songs that refuses to let go. Within 24 hours, I’d spun it a thousand times — no exaggeration. The band behind it? Toronto’s own The Beaches. I typically don’t get so hooked on […]
As a music fan, I have sometimes waited years to see certain bands in my city. I have known music fans who’ve waited almost a lifetime to see their favorite bands. I have even traveled to different countries to see bands on my must-see list and I’ve always had an amazing experience doing so. I […]
Tuesday night in Nashville can be one of two things: mundane and routine or out-of-this-world and chaotic. On the one hand, you have the predictable crowds of tourists infesting Broadway like roaches under a refrigerator and, on the other, you have an event randomly pop up that blows the minds of true music fans in […]
This past week in Nashville was my first chance shooting at an NFL stadium. Last year, I photographed Green Day at GEODIS Park in Nashville, but that stadium only has a capacity of around 25,000. This past Tuesday, I shot at Nissan Stadium — home to the Tennessee Titans — which holds around 70,000. It’s […]
Walking into Ascend Amphitheater on a humid Nashville night, I felt the buzz of anticipation ripple through my body. I also felt the sweat pouring down my head thanks to this unusually hot summer. There’s something about seeing a band like Alabama Shakes in an outdoor venue that already feels electric before the first note […]
The Crane Wives, a band I haven’t really had much of an opportunity to get to know until I was asked to cover their Nashville tour date, dropped into Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl on an overly humid Nashville summer night. A quick Google search let me know the band is renowned for their evolution from folk‑pop […]
This past Saturday, at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, marked my third time seeing the band Ghost. It seems that each time I see them perform, the audience grows in size. My first experience with the band was at the Crouse Hinds Theater in Syracuse, New York — a venue with a 2,700-person capacity. I remember thinking […]
Friday night in Nashville marked another first for me this year: it was my first time shooting at the latest and greatest venue in town — The Pinnacle. The Pinnacle is a 2,500-person venue that was recently constructed in the heart of downtown Nashville. While the concert house has already hosted many big shows this […]
A 10xTANTRUM, on the surface, sounds like something no person would ever want to experience, but when it comes to this fun genre-defying new alt pop supergroup, it sounds absolutely heavenly. 10xTANTRUM is a brand new, fun, edgy, and sexy alt-pop supergroup formed by four standout creatives: multidisciplinary artist and musician Eli Romanova, actress and […]
Billy. Fucking. Idol. There is just something about him. The dramatic and glam rock stars of the 80s were the soundtrack of my childhood and shaped the artist I would eventually become. Billy Idol, in particular, had a massive impact on my life. His music, his presence, his attitude. It all lit a fire in […]
It was a wet Sunday night in Nashville and I was beyond excited as I packed up my camera bag and headed to The Basement East. It had been a long time since I’d shot a show at this venue, but with a lineup featuring HEALTH and Author & Punisher, I knew I had to […]
