A little late due to vacation out of the country, but my last concert of 2015 was probably my best concert of 2015. Unfortunately I was able to photograph all the bands due to taking too many of Moneen and only have two memory cards on me. Sorry Moving Mountains, however, I had to take a… Read More Moneen / Prawn – Underground Arts – Philadelphia, PA – 12/18/15
Seems like I’ve been photographing every other night. This time I found myself photographing in New York for Good Old War’s holiday show. I never shot or been to Bowery Ballroom, but found out there was no barricade which made photographing a little difficult. The only opening act was 16 year old Sawyer Fredericks. When… Read More Good Old War / Sawyer Fredericks – Bowery Ballroom – New York, NY – 12/16/15
Mondays are usually quiet and boring, but at Starland Ballroom it was anything but quiet and boring. Frank Turner brought his last United States tour of the year to New Jersey he wasn’t leaving quietly. Opening the show was The Homeless Gospel Choir which is Derek Zanetti on acoustic guitar. His set was very inspirational… Read More Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls / Restorations / The Homeless Gospel Choir – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 12/14/15
On December 12 The Get Up Kids performed in New Jersey for their 20th anniversary. Some may say, “I feel old”, but after the show ended I think the audience felt like their youth. Opening the show was new Side One Dummy Records records signing Rozwell Kid. I didn’t know what to expect from this… Read More The Get Up Kids / Into It. Over It. / Rozwell Kid – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 12/12/15
Friday I made my way to Hoboken to photograph my friend’s band John The Gun. Even though they weren’t headlining, they still put a great show just like last time. Sneaking into their set was a cover of “Carol Of The Bells” for the holiday season and a quick little tribute to Scott Weiland with… Read More John The Gun – Maxwell’s Tavern – Hoboken, NJ – 12/11/15
The holidays are upon us. November 27 is the day after Thanksgiving and also known as Black Friday. This year I made sure not to go shopping, but #optoutside. First of all I was full from the night before and made sure to run in the morning. Second, the weather was amazing. While on my… Read More Wayne A. Grube Memorial Park – Northampton, PA – 11/27/15
I attended one of the Brian Fallon shows at the Crossroads a couple of days ago, but it was considered a “secret show”. Thursday thru Saturday shows were sold out, but the Crossroads were nice enough to set up another non advertise show for some lucky fans. I was one of those lucky fans. I… Read More Brian Fallon / Jared Hart / Rocky Catenese – Crossroads – Garwood, NJ – 12/2/15
Fall’s last hurrah. Another year, another glorious season. The year is almost over and it is always nice to take a hike and reflect on what has happen. 2015 was indeed a good year, a lot of good things happened, but unfortunately a few lows happened. While hiking to the top of Bake Oven Knob… Read More Bake Oven Knob – Germansville, PA – 11/22/15
On Black Friday, the Lehigh Valley experience not one, not two, but three reunions at Jabber Jaws in Allentown. Definitely a trip down memory lane for everyone in the room, and the three bands that reunited still have it. Opening the show was a new local punk band Admit Nothing. With influences like Screeching Weasel… Read More Digger / Walter Krug / No Blitz / Admit Nothing – Jabber Jaws – Allentown, PA – 11/27/15
