As I entered the ever-inviting House of Blues in Anaheim, California for The Pixies’ show, I was filled with mixed emotions. First, let me say that I am embarrassed that this was my first Pixies’ concert… I have really enjoyed their music since Surfer Rosa, but just never have had the chance to see them […]
Brothers, Sisters, We Need This Heaven 17 thing! 40 years. Yes, I waited 40 years for Heaven 17 to tour America! I had tickets twice previously to see them, only to be sorely disappointed with cancellations. Once they cancelled due to visa issues and once due to COVID. Thanks, COVID! So, when I saw this […]
I don’t usually spend much time at cemeteries at night. However, unlike most burial grounds, the Hollywood Forever Cemetery is a vibrant and beautiful setting for an equally energetic and delightful concert. On September 28th, Fred Again… played the first night of his three-day sold-out concert series. The British musician and producer truly brought some […]
Labor Day Weekend spanned four days this year for those lucky enough to spend it camping at the Dry Diggings Music Festival in Grass Valley, California. Thanks, Jeff Monser!

While mother nature tried pretty hard to rain on our parade, Same Same but Different carried on in its same unique magical way that simply makes it different. After a week-long heatwave in southern California, the weather seemed to break for the better at the start of Same Same But Different 2022 on Friday, September […]
When I was assigned to cover the Iron Maiden show at the Honda Center on September 21st, I was beyond stoked. I had not seen Maiden in decades… literally decades. The last time I saw them was in 1987 for their Somewhere on Tour run. Needless to say, as we all get older, we tend […]

Okay, okay, okay… out of all the bands that played The Observatory in Santa Ana on September 11th, 2022, only Marky Ramone’s original band, the Ramones, were from the 70s, but c’mon — D.I. was created in 1982! That’s close enough right?! Las Vegas band JERK! opened up the night and really started the show […]
On September 9th, 2022, The Pretty Reckless headlined a show at a historic 90-year-old venue called The Wiltern in Los Angeles. They were supported by rocker Ayron Jones. I was really excited to have the opportunity to shoot at The Wiltern; I’d never seen or shot show here, so it was a cool new experience. The Wiltern and […]

There, on September 10th, you would have found fans lined up under a colorful illuminated marquee, patiently waiting to enter to the venue for the Continued 2022 World Tour. The tour is a double-feature consisting of R&B, soul, […]
It was a soggy southern California summer evening after a weeks-long record-breaking heatwave as Hurricane Kay swept across the southland. The usual Friday night traffic, made worse by the rains, made for a two-hour and 45-minute trek to the historic Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles for my teen heartthrobs, Duran Duran. As I crept my […]
