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.

John The Gun – Maxwell’s Tavern – Hoboken, NJ – 12/11/15

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

Brian Fallon/Jared Hart/Rocky Catenese – The Crossroads – Garwood, NJ – 12/2/15

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 – The Crossroads – Garwood, NJ – 12/2/15

My first time at The Brighton Bar, and even though the lighting was a challenge to work with, I hope to come back again because this venue is a great place to see shows.  The first band of the night was The Mega Yeah from around Nazareth, PA area.  Not far from where I am… Read More Mustard Plug/Backyard Superheroes/Teenage Halloween/The Mega Yeah – The Brighton Bar – Long Branch, NJ – 11/14/15

New Found Glory / Yellowcard / Tigers Jaw – Sands Event Center – Bethlehem, PA – 10/31/15

I always wanted to photograph a Halloween show because I thought it would be neat to capture that memory of the band wearing costumes on stage.  If this is my only one, it was a great show to attend. From Scranton, PA, Tigers Jaw opened the show.  After a very brief hiatus, Tigers Jaw is… Read More New Found Glory / Yellowcard / Tigers Jaw – Sands Event Center – Bethlehem, PA – 10/31/15

The Bouncing Souls / Leftover Crack / Beach Slang / All Torn Up – Chameleon Club – Lancaster, PA – 10/17/15

Exactly three months, and I am seeing The Bouncing Souls again, which isn’t a bad thing.  This time there was no full album playing, but a well put setlist spanning their entire discography.  Again, the bill was filled with great openers and seeing the Bouncing Souls in the fall in picturesque Lancaster isn’t a bad… Read More The Bouncing Souls / Leftover Crack / Beach Slang / All Torn Up – Chameleon Club – Lancaster, PA – 10/17/15
