On a beautiful summer evening in Costa Mesa, the Pacific Amphitheatre played host to a double bill of 90s alternative rock royalty. Toad the Wet Sprocket and Counting Crows took the stage on August 31st, 2024, delivering a night of great music. I typically do not review shows like this — as my passion as […]
Ever want to just lie down on the floor and sink into a black hole… but in the best way possible? If you were there for Chevelle’s latest tour, you would have experienced just that. I was shocked when I saw Return to Dust hit the stage. These guys, even though they are young and […]
On August 23rd, Iration headlined the first of two nights at the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, California, supported by Artikal Sound System, DENM, and Pepper. It was one of the last shows of the season for 2024’s OC Fair Summer Concert Series. And Artikal Sound System started things off for the night. At the start […]
What’s better than Black Sabbath? Black Sabbath in the form of McDonald’s characters, greasing classic Sabbath songs with new lyrics aimed at the demise of the fast food industry. That’s what. In fact, it’s been 10 years since Mac Sabbath introduced the world to the Drive-thru metal genre… Oh how fast a decade of finger-lickin’ […]
It was a beautiful evening at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA on Sunday, August 25th. I was honored to photograph Kings Of Leon for their Can We Please Have Fun World Tour.

There’s the Beatles… and then there’s everything else. This is the mantra I have lived by my entire life. With two of the Fab Four already taken from this planet, Paul and Ringo are all that’s left for me to catch a glimpse of a band that changed music history—and parts of US history—as we […]
Who says you have to take it easy on a Sunday evening? Definitely not Steve Miller Band, Journey, or Def Leppard. Eagerness filled Inglewood Sunday evening as the surrounding streets of the Sofi Stadium began filling with traffic. The variety of people wearing every band’s merch was astonishing… it was beginning to look like an epic […]
Fun fact, disco isn’t dead. Not only is it alive and well in the hearts of those who lived through the 70s, but it prospers in the younger generations (aka, products of those who lived through the 70s). And funk, soul, and R&B never went anywhere; if anything, they’ve gained momentum since their inception. After […]
My first memory of hearing Green Day dates back to my teenage years during an after-school track practice: I distinctly remember the guitar riff from “Brain Stew” playing and from that moment, I was hooked. Back then, the radio would play the song at least five times a day, always followed by “Jaded”, which — […]
On August 21st, Squeeze and Boy George headlined at the Pacific Amphitheatre as part of the OC Fair Concert Series for 2024 — hosted by none other than renowned KROQ radio deejay, Richard Blade. It was great seeing Richard interacting with fans in the crowd and the interesting 80s music facts about the bands he […]
The Smashing Pumpkins made a tour stop in St. Louis on a beautiful August evening and showed the packed house that they’ve still got it. This is a band that has been innovating on what rock music can sound like for multiple decades, formed over 35 years ago by frontman Billy Corgan. When a band […]
Nearly 15 years have passed since I last attended a concert by Five Finger Death Punch or Marilyn Manson. I distinctly remember my first time seeing Five Finger Death Punch; lead singer Ivan Moody was clearly grappling with substance abuse issues, which heavily impacted the band’s performance. At the time, every metal magazine seemed to […]
On August 9th, 2024, Costa Mesa’s Pacific Amphitheatre in Orange County, CA was lit up by the vibrant sounds of Rebelution, supported by Kolohe Kai, Collie Buddz, and Cydeways.

Intensity and electricity filled Inglewood on a Thursday night as the parking lot for the YouTube Theater quickly filled up. Upon arriving, food and merch vendors were seen hustling as doors opened, with many food and drink vendors in their respective tents and trucks selling some of the most fantastic food I have ever tried.
