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 […]
Born out of the vibrant Boone, North Carolina music scene, Babe Haven has quickly established themselves as one of the most compelling new forces in modern metal. Yet, at their core, the band’s inception was refreshingly simple — there was a desire to “just play”. Guitarist Naomi Poesel recalled during our sit-down conversation that she […]
This past Thursday night at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, I had the privilege of doing something I had never done before in the history of me shooting concerts. That was to shoot an artist for a second time after covering them many years ago as a local artist. I am talking about a […]
