Hodera / The Cardboard Sword / The Other Stars / Dollys / Puddle Splasher – 73 See Gallery & Design Studio – Montclair, NJ – 5/18/16

Last week I decided on a whim to check out a local show in my area.  The show was in Montclair at 73 See Gallery & Design Studio with two touring bands and three local bands.  For a Wednesday night it was a fairly good turn out, and I must say North Jersey has a… Read More Hodera / The Cardboard Sword / The Other Stars / Dollys / Puddle Splasher – 73 See Gallery & Design Studio – Montclair, NJ – 5/18/16

Kiefer Sutherland / Austin Plaine – Mexicali Live – Teaneck, NJ – 5/12/16

Photographing musicians has brought me a lot of opportunities and finding some of my new favorite bands.  It has also taught me how to get out of my comfort zone and just embrace ambiguity.  However, I never thought I’d photograph a movie star, let alone a good movie star.  It happened in Teaneck though, at… Read More Kiefer Sutherland / Austin Plaine – Mexicali Live – Teaneck, NJ – 5/12/16

Bane / BoySetsFire / Maximum Penalty / Cruel Hand / Uzi Kids – First Unitarian Church – Philadelphia, PA – 5/7/16

On Saturday May 7, 2016, Bane played their last Philadephia show.  It was a bittersweet night.  Sing alongs, tears, and stage dives were had.  However, even though this was the last time for many to see Bane in the City of Brotherly Love, they didn’t go quietly.  Opening the show was local straight edge band… Read More Bane / BoySetsFire / Maximum Penalty / Cruel Hand / Uzi Kids – First Unitarian Church – Philadelphia, PA – 5/7/16

Jared Hart / Hell And The High Waters / Rocky Catanese And The Chapter / John The Gun – The Citizen – Jersey City, NJ – 4/29/16

Jersey City witnessed a homecoming of sorts at The Citizen on April 29th.  Four bands within the Central/North Jersey music scene came together for a fun night of food, booze, and music.  Opening the show was up and coming  prog rock band John The Gun.  Big things are happening for this band, make sure to… Read More Jared Hart / Hell And The High Waters / Rocky Catanese And The Chapter / John The Gun – The Citizen – Jersey City, NJ – 4/29/16

The Early November / The Movielife / Have Mercy – The Fillmore – Philadelphia, PA – 3/25/16

The second Movielife show that I was photographing was in Philadephia, PA at the new Fillmore.  Unfortunately, due to traffic, I missed the first opener Dryjacket.  I was excited to see this band because from what I heard, I enjoyed, but maybe next time I will get to catch their set.  I did get a chance… Read More The Early November / The Movielife / Have Mercy – The Fillmore – Philadelphia, PA – 3/25/16

The Three Headed Monstour Featuring Mest / The Ataris / Hawthorne Heights / Handguns / London Falling / Sad Actor – Theatre Of Living Arts – Philadelphia, PA – 3/13/16

The Three Headed Monstour made its stop in Philadelphia on March 13.  This tour is sort of a nostalgia tour for many fans, and as JT Woodruff of Hawthorne Heights would say later in the show, they wanted this tour to just be fun and forget how old you are.  On the Philadelphia date, the… Read More The Three Headed Monstour Featuring Mest / The Ataris / Hawthorne Heights / Handguns / London Falling / Sad Actor – Theatre Of Living Arts – Philadelphia, PA – 3/13/16

Less Than Jake / Westbound Train / Mephiskapheles – Highline Ballroom – New York, NY – 3/9/16

For the beginning of 2016, Less Than Jake embarked on a mini East Coast/Midwest tour playing two nights in the same city.  This tour would be at intimate venues that would only fit about 1,000 people. These shows would definitely sell out, not just because it is Less Than Jake, but because each night would… Read More Less Than Jake / Westbound Train / Mephiskapheles – Highline Ballroom – New York, NY – 3/9/16

St. Paul & The Broken Bones / Banditos – The Stone Pony – Asbury Park, NJ – 1/19/16

2016 is shaping up to be a good year, concert wise.  My second show of the year and it is going to be hard to top this.  First off, Banditos is a band everyone should watch for.  With their southern rock sound and amazing guitar playing, Banditos is picking up after bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd.  With a… Read More St. Paul & The Broken Bones / Banditos – The Stone Pony – Asbury Park, NJ – 1/19/16

Cherry Poppin’ Daddies / Swing That Cat – Sellersville Theater – Sellersville, PA – 1/16/16

My first concert of 2016 and it was a great way to start the New Year.  My first time at Sellersville Theater and I hope not my last.  Opening the show was local band Swing That Cat from Wenonah, NJ.  Fronted by Michele Peraino and her eight piece band, Swing That Cat brings you back… Read More Cherry Poppin’ Daddies / Swing That Cat – Sellersville Theater – Sellersville, PA – 1/16/16
