They say that a fine wine gets better with age. In that respect, Jimmy Eat World is like a fine wine. With every new album they release, they get better and better. After missing their major tour in support of their new album Damage, I was able to get the chance to photograph them on… Read More Jimmy Eat World – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 12/13/13
The first and last time I saw Bane live was at This Is Hardcore 2011 in Philadelphia, PA. I knew what hardcore music was and knew what type of audience it would be like, but when Bane took the stage I was fascinated. There was something different about them, the positivity from the crowd, the… Read More Bane – Kung Fu Necktie – Philadelphia, PA – 12/1/13
It’s been a while since I’ve been in Philadelphia for a concert. About a month, but either way it was nice to be back in the city of Brotherly Love at a great venue and seeing a great band. Westbound Train made their first stop of three shows at World Café Live. A great venue… Read More Westbound Train – World Cafe Live – Philadelphia, PA – 11/16/13
I lost count in how many ska shows I’ve been to this year. For some reason 2013 has been the year of ska. Adding to the list of ska shows was the first night of Skanksgiving at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey. Around eight bands played including one non-ska band, but they made… Read More Skanksgiving 2013 Featuring Less Than Jake / Mustard Plug / Backyard Superheroes – Starland Ballroom – Sayreville, NJ – 11/9/13
First off, I’ve been to many venues around this country from touring, but Saturday’s venue has to be the best venue yet. Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park, New Jersey is a very unique venue.

The month of September has just started, and already I feel like it is going to be a nostalgic month. Last weekend I got to photograph Ace Enders and reunited Hidden in Plain View in Philadelphia, which brought back memories from my high school and early college years. This past Thursday, I went even further… Read More Blink 182 / Four Year Strong / New Beat Fund – Sands Event Center – Bethlehem, PA – 9/12/13
Last night I witnessed a very special concert, a concert that was packed with emotion, exhilaration, and nostalgia.

This is it, the end of summer. How do I know this? Growing up in Bethlehem, PA there is a weeklong festival that takes over the main street and the surrounding streets with food, drinks, out-of-towners, and music. I am speaking of Musikfest. A festival that surprisingly is the nation’s biggest free music festival. I… Read More Fright Barker & Sons – Musikfest – Bethlehem, PA – 8/10/13
Life seems to go full circle. When I was in middle school going into high school, I thought I was this “punk rock” kid. I had the music down, the attitude, and the style. As I got older and got into girls, my style changed to the pop-punk music where all the songs were about… Read More Face To Face / Blacklist Royals – Trocadero Theatre – Philadelphia, PA – 6/8/13
If someone told me when I was younger that I would tour with Mxpx in my early 20’s I’d laugh at them. If someone then told me I would photograph some of my favorite bands in my mid twenties, I’d think they were drunk. Yet, I have done those things and more. Who knows what… Read More The Gaslight Anthem – The Stone Pony Summer Stage – Asbury Park, NJ – 5/26/13
